== Wed. Dec 21, 1898 == I rose and made the fire, I am always the fireman, the boys are off to school. I attended to the house work, and then baked a Christmas cake, and I iced it and trimmed it, I always like to have a small one. == Thursday 22 == This is the last day of school for this term and it is a dull day I baked bread and buns in the forenoon I did not do anything in particular today, as I have the Bronchitis and it is not very pleasant
