Page 85

Saturday October 1st 1910  A fine day.  I was busy all forenoon with baking and ironing  Will went to town.  We both went down in afternoon.  I took some things to the M E rummage sale.  I did not stay long.  I did the mending and fixed things for dinner [illegible]  Sunday October 2 1910  It was a nice day  I was busy all forenoon getting the dinner.  Rob & Cora with Blanche and Baby Robert came out at 11.30.  We spent the afternoon in visiting and they went home at 4.30.  I read some, did the evening work and in the evening wrote to Lizzie Duncan  Monday October 3 1910  I had [illegible] to can in the forenoon and did some cooking  It was a showery day.  Will helped me more things out of the kitchen and I cleaned the floor good.  I had a card from Lizzie Duncan.  I wrote more in my letter [illegible?] her to come back this way.
