Thursday September 7th 1893
I was busy about the house all the forenoon.
Will went to the fair for the day. Edith had
her dinner with me. I got ready in the afternoon
and went to the fair. The girls were out too.
It was late when I got supper over. weather very warm.
Friday September 8th 1893
I got my work done and cut out sewing to go
over home to spend the day. I had a good visit
was down to Fannys in the afternoon. I walked
home got some peaches that I tried to put up
in the evening. They were not good so I will take
them back tomorrow. Will went to the fair.
John & Hatt married 13 years.
Saturday September 9th 1893
I was most of the day cleaning up stairs. I sewed
some carpet and changed furniture in the rooms
over the dining room. I was up town a few
moments in the morning. Will put the wood in the barn.
Lee got home today. I had a letter from Laura.
Sunday September 10th 1893
We went to church this morning after the
work was done. We changed our clothes soon after
that to walk over to Otts for dinner. The folks
come over from the other house and George
Falk and his Mother were over. We came home
before night. I got our supper and wrote in the evening.
