Sunday May 1st
I didn't go to Sunday school this morning as my cold still feels rotten. Marj. Frank & Tid went down and I went over to see Jack Martin's {deer?} which he got the other day to adorn the hillside at Mrs. Battersby's place. I took a walk around by the mill before I came home. Marj. & I spent most of the after noon counting the morning collection and trying to make the books balance. Cecil & Winnie came over about four o'clock and stayed to tea and spent the evening. Cecil is a {comical card all right?}. Frank went down on his wheel to-night and {got the?} evening collection after church and Marj. & I {worked?} at it till late and then I don't {words very faded...} came out {word faded}. We seemed to have 10 cts more money than we had {illegible}. Cloudy cold and threatening all day.
