Page 1

Sunday January 1st, 1933.  A nice winter day. I went to S Sv church with Ott and home with him for dinner.  William brought me home about three oclock.  I read awhile and took a sleep.  I read in the evening.  Monday January 2, 1933  There was no mail delivery or stores open today.  I was busy with the work part of the AM.  Minnie Showers was here most of the afternoon.  Mrs Gay up in the evening.  later I read in a book.  Tuesday January 8, 1932  Letters from LeGrand and Mrs. Rowe.  I wrote Winnie and Birdie.  Mary took me up town in the forenoon.  Hattie was here all afternoon.  I was doing some sewing.  Weather very pleasant.  Down stairs in evening.  Wednesday January 4 1933  I went up to the church by taxi a very good day.  Mrs. Hunter brought me home.  I read in the evening.  Weather wonderful for the time of year.  Thursday January 5 1933  I was busy about the house in the forenoon and sewing in the afternoon.  Cora stopped a moment.  They had been out to the farm where Rob [put?] the big dog.  Cora went out to Andersons for Hattie.  Ott was here for supper.  But could not stay long.  This is Mother's birth-day and it is 18 years today that Hattie and I started to Florida together.
