Iowa Byington Reed diary, May 1, 1904-March 31, 1905

Page 60

Thursday December 15th 1904
I was busy all forenoon. It was so cold that things were
all frozen up this morning. I went down home in the
afternoon and Will went on to town. I had such a good
letter from Lydia today. I worked on my tatting in evening.
Friday December 16th 1904
It was snowing this morning and kept it up all day. I
was so disappointed I wanted to go down to the Presbyterian
church supper and bazaar. I put in the time with the
work and my fancy work and reading. Will doing all the work.
Saturday December 17th 1904
I had churning and a very busy forenoon. Will got
the paths cleared and fixed up the sleigh so after
dinner he took me to town and then back over home
for a short stay. I did evening work and read in a
book I brought from the library. The ladies had a crowd last night.
Sunday December 18th 1904
It was warmed this morning. I did some cleaning up
and dusting about the house. I took a bath after noon
and did some writing. I read all the evening
and went to bed early.
