Wednesday March 15th 1899 I did up the work and we went up to Willie Andersons to spend the day by invitation.  There were others there and we had such a good time The weather was cold and windy.  practiced at night  Thursday March 16th 1899  I was busy about the house all forenoon.  Will went to Hill Siding with John after an early dinner.  I took my work and went down to Callies I put in the evening talking with the boys as Levi was down from Harts.  I churned twice today.  Friday March 17th 1899  Will took the butter to town today and was over home for dinner.  The folks are quite well.  I went up to [Ossies] to a quilting party  where I met a number of the neighbors. We had a good time.  It was a stormy day first snowed and then rained. A dark stormy evening. I read all evening  Saturday March 18th 1899  I was busy all forenoon doing baking and other cooking.  Will went to town with Mr Simpson he got back about two oclock. I sewed in the afternoon and played the piano in evening.
