Julia Brumfield Diaries

A good day. Ben & Jim went hunting. A lot of the grand children come to night and a few others. Kate and Irvin walked down here. The children played until midnight. They all said that they had a good time. I did not have anything to do with the askin them.

I am glad that the Xmas is gone. Every day is preshious but the excuse for doing nothing is gone.

We have had good wood and have had good fires for which I want to be thankful. I have not bin sick a day so that I could not go a bout. I feel sad to think of this being the last time that I will write in this book.

one oclock 1920

A cloudy morning. Rained a little. Hailed and snowed all day. I milked & churned and set by the fire most of the time. Josie got dinner & supper. She cooked white beans and baked a cake. Jim and Ben went to Marvins. this morning. Marvin come here this evening.

I want to go to see Mag & Kate and Grace when the weather is good. There is so much to be done I can't go. I am not well. I hope I will feel better soon.

A good day. Ben & Jim carried two loads of tobacco to Gretna. I hope they got there ok.
