Sunday August 31st 1902
I was busy about the house all morning. It
rained a little early. Walter went away.
I read and rested all afternoon. Mollie
did not come and I heard the school would
not begin for another week. Will did Walters chores tonight.
Monday September 1st 1902
Walter churned for me and I had my wash
in good shape to go down town a little
after nine oclock.. Got a letter from Will. I
took Mother some cucumbers. I went up town
was home in time to get dinner. I did some
varnishing in afternoon and went down to meet
Will at five oclock. We spent the evening
visiting. Walter working with the shucked oats.
Tuesday September 2nd 1902
I was busy all forenoon, did washing. Will and I went
down home awhile in the afternoon and
stopped at Woolfs for supper. Hattie went
to Burlington. Walter helping other thresh.
