Saturday November 29th 1879 Mother and Rob went to the depot with Mrs Jones this morning. I got the dinner and they did not get back till noon. I went to town in the afternoon and Win came home with me to stay all night. The boys were down stairs in the evening and they played cards and had a great time. John was over, I partly fringed my mat. Sunday November 30th 1879 Mollie and I went to church in the forenoon and I wrote to Charlie in the afternoon. Rob took Mollie and I to hear Mr Clute lecture in the evening. Monday December 1st 1897 I did a large washing this forenoon and then cleaned up my room real nice. Mother went to town in the afternoon and the girls went over to Wildes. I was busy putting some things away in the garret and doing some mending for myself. In the evening I began to knit me a pair of mittens.
