Monday April 27th 1885 We had the washing all done before noon. And Ida ironed a few of the things while we all went over to the depot with Charlie & Ida. It was supper time when we got home I played a little while in the evening and went to ed early. I made arrangements to begin my music lessons this week. Tuesday April 28th 1885. I was practicing some this morning while Mother was gone to town Ida did the ironing. I had a letter from Will I called on Mrs Fred Harris and Mrs Thompson in the afternoon. I played in the evening. Wednesday April 28th 1885 I was busy about the work most of the forenoon. I practiced a little while. And went over for my lesson soon after dinner. I got home just before supper. I had some cabinet pictures taken this afternoon. wrote to Will at night Thursday April 29th 1885. I did get to go over to see the boys start this afternoon as it was rainy. Mother went though. I helped Lee most of the forenoon to get his things packed up. Al Moore brought his over and they packed them together. I read some and practiced some. Friday May 1st 1885 I felt wretched mean all the forenoon but better in the afternoon and just before supper time I went over to Hatte Ott had some friends come to spend the evening there. A very pleasant time. It was rainy and I stayed all night.
