could wait on herself and Will and I went over to
Woolfs to dinner. It was Mr Woolfs birthday and
Mary gave him a surprise party. We had a nice
time. Will Reed went to Robinsons sale in the
afternoon and bought a bay mare. I spent the
evening in Mrs Fullers room.

I got my work done up in good order this morning
Mr Fullers Mother came last night to take care
of his wife. I had Dentons folks to dinner. Mother
came over before dinner. The girls were here
awhile in the afternoon.

I was busy about the house most of the forenoon.
I sewed on my gray dress that I am fixing all

at Aunt Ems but it rained just at night. I
sewed a little and and some in the evening.
Saturday October 28th 1893
