Tuesday February 25th 1913
I baked a cake for the Brotherhood supper and went
down town at 3:15 in a snow storm. I mailed a collar I
had made to Laura Mason. I got a lot of things ready
to bring home. Will came at 5:15 and LeGrand met him
to take supper with us at the church. Later Rob and Cora met 
us and we went to picture shows till 9:30. still snowing then.
Wednesday February 26th 1913
I put in a comfort made of some curtains I need to
have and got it all finished before bed time.
I had a letter from Lydia today.
Thursday February 27th 1913
I put in another comfort today. Did what cooking I
had to and finished it entirely by late bed time.
Friday February 28th 1913
I did some cooking in the morning and mending in
the afternoon. Will to town awhile. Hattie came out
at 4:30. Cora an hour later and Rob at 6:40 for supper.
We had a fine evening. They went home at 9:15.
Saturday March 1st 1913
I did a lot of house work in the morning. Will went
down town at 1:15 and I as far as Otts. Fannie had some
of the cousins spending the day. It stormed so I
had to stay all night. I spent the evening very
pleasantly with Ott, Fannie and the boys. I had
a nice letter from Laura Mason today.
