Will went to the valley to be gone all day.
I worked all the forenoon making hominy.
I got me a little dinner and dressed to go
calling. Was at Dr Brush to invited them for
supper on Tuesday night. went to see Mrs Rich
but did not find her at home. When I got home
found Lib Stevens here. I got supper over early
read in the evening. We were tired and went to bed early.
Saturday February 3rd 1894
I was all forenoon doing baking and sweeping
Soon after dinner I took "Soukie" to have her
picture taken. I then went down town. Will
came to a five oclock supper and after that I
went over home to spend the evening. He
came for me and we took our bath after coming home.
Sunday February 4th 1894
We got around in time to go to church. As soon
as we had dinner walked over to Woolfs. We met
Lee and as he was going away tonight I stopped
at home till after supper. He brought me
over. Will came on home to do the chores.
I got over to go to church in the evening.
