Wednesday January 25 1911  I got my work done and a nice dinner.  Hattie & Ella Wilcox were out for the day.  We had such a good visit.  I washed my dishes after they went home.  Thursday January 26 1911  I was at home all day and busy sewing when not busy with the regular work.  Will working on his tree which will make a lot of wood.  Friday January 27 1911  I went down town at 10.15.  Did a lot of errands and went over home where I stayed till after three  I came back to town for medicine Dr Smith had ready for me.  I worked at fancy work all evening.  Saturday january 28 1911  Will and i went down town together at 10.15.  I did some errands and we walked out to John McCollisters to spend the day with others of the cousins.  Mrs. Shelly was there from Burlington.  We had a very nice day.  I did not come home till 5.30.  I worked at my fancy work all evening.  The sun has not shown since last Monday.  It has been warmer and the ice is gone from the ground.
