Tuesday, Oct. 23, 1888 No cooler, think, but rather more pleasant. About as usual with our folks, & spending day much same only Charlotte was out to tea (or coffee) once more, but home to spend evening, & before Ellery returned to store after having our supper at home. About as usual self, tho' found doing my small ironing (last weeks) with usual chores tired me more than some times, & "taking it easy" with knitting P.M. Wednesday 24 Rather less cool, but clouded over, with quite a breeze from south. All appear as well with our folks & busy as ever at usual duties. Ellery finding jobs about house - such as "banking" &c - to occupy most of morning. Quite as well self, & spending day at home much as usual except couple hours P.M. I was in to sit with Estelle & Katie Pratt, & when think had slight "half unconsciousness" another at tea table.
