Saturday July 23 1910  I am 59 years old today.  Will and I drove down town.  I stopped at home awhile.  got home at 10.30 and got our dinner.  Will in town in afternoon I was busy sewing.  The heat is something awful.  Sunday July 24 1910  I put my peaches away in the pantry and did some extra house-work.  I tried to sleep in the afternoon but could not.  I wrote some.  We did not go down tot he camp to the concert I did not feel well.  Went to bed early.  Monday July 25 1910  I was sick all of last night.  I managed to do the work with Wills help. He was down town in afternoon  Tuesday July 26 1910  I felt better, gave the house a good cleaning up and in afternoon finished my new fine sheets.  Will went to town after supper and got another bushel of peaches.  We put them away in the cellar.  I wrote a long letter to Vera in the evening.  Not as hot as yesterday.
