Page 150

Thursday November 8th 1900  It was a very busy day.  I did a lot of baking churned and got the butter ready and picked up what things I wanted to take with me.  I was down to Callies a few moments in the afternoon.  Friday November 9th 1900  We got an early start and I went up town before train time.  Elmer Anderson came as far as West Liberty with me. and Ida and Mary were at the depot.  I had a pleasant trip over to Delavan.  Laura got on at Green Valley and Jim met us at the depot.  A hearty welcome and a pleasant evening waited me there.  It was late when we got to bed.  Saturday November 10th 1900  I went over to Andrew Woolfs in the forenoon with Laura where I surprised them.  It was not very nice weather in the afternoon but I went on down to Maurice Culbertsons where I stayed all night  Sunday November 11th 1900  Maurice took me over to Vernes.  I went to church with Laura and down to Lizzie Duncans for dinner and in the afternoon over to Will Duncans to call I went back over to Vernes to spend the evening and stay all night. had such a nice evening.
