Page 91

Sunday November 19th 1893
Got around with the work to go to church. Uncle
Jim Stevens & Ellen went with us and come
back to dinner. They went over the river in
the afternoon. We went first to Woolfs and
then stopped at home on our way back.
Went to church in the evening. weather pleasanter.
Monday November 20th 1893
I washed alone this morning. Will went to the valley.
It was a fine day. Had my work done so soon
after one oclock I went over the river. Mother
and I went out to see Mrs Dennis and came
around to see Mollie Robinson. It was five
oclock when I got home. I wrote to Charlie
in the evening after getting my supper over.
It is nine years today since Charlie & Ida were married.
Tuesday November 21st 1893
I ironed in the forenoon and went up town
every thing was covered with snow this morning.
Will cut wood and worked about the place.
I prepared for company Mr Robinson, & Mother
& Lee were here for supper and to spend
the morning. I had a nice supper and we
had a very pleasant visit.
