Saturday April 16th 1881 The folks took another load and went over this morning. I cleaned up the house and did some cake baking before noon and as soon as I ate my dinner went over to Hatts with a basket of things. Winnie was there. I came up town about four oclock and got material for me a new light cloak. Mother was over town late in the afternoon. I helped Bridget get supper and did some mending in the eve. Sunday April 17th 1881 A pleasant Easter and the first nice day we have had for a long time. I went to church in the forenoon. I felt so tired I laid down awhile after dinner. Late in the afternoon John, Hatt, and Win came over. They staid till after supper. I practiced on the piano in the evening Minnie Mc-- {McCallister} was here for supper and Orrie went home with her to stay all night
