Page 82

Saturday February 10th 1917
I went down town with Walter. After making some 
purchases I walked out to McCormicks to ask Josephine to 
have The Falks call for me at Mooreheads if they were in
and went on there. I had my dinner  there and Mrs
Slemmons and I went down town. It was  a perfect day.
I came home with Walter and We all  went back to do
errands and go to the picture show.  We get "The Press" now.
Sunday February 11th 1917
It was a perfectly beautiful day. We w went to Church. Had 
our dinner down town. They took a ride out toward DeLand
to call on The Falks. Did  some writing after we got home.
Some of their friends stayed for supper. Lydia birthday.
Monday February 12th 1917
We were home all day. Mrs  Falk and I did a  little
washing. I worked on my spread. She and I went in
with Walter and to the picture show in the evening.
Tuesday February 13th 1917
I did ironing in forenoon. Was home all day. I wrote a
couple of letters to Lydia & Mollie Stitt. I finished the second
block of my spread. Walter did not  come home to supper.
Wednesday February 14th 1917
It was a year today since we left Delavan. Mrs Falk
went in town for the day and I got the dinner. She
came back about 1:30 with some Davenport friends 
who had drove over from Daytona. We decided to not
go to Daytona tomorrow but will go Sunday  with The Falks.
I wrote to Cora. I had our packing all done. Down to see Romeo & Juliet in evening.
