Dear Diary:
Dad, Buster and Finis wwent over to the Clark Place to work this morning. Mother and Artie have been washing clothes. Finis ate here because Artie didn't get through washing in time to cook. We went down to Dany's this afternoon. I had to milk the cows tonight because Finis didn't get in from work until late.

Dear Diary:
Mother went to pick some blackberries early this morning before it got hot. Artie and Beulah Franklin went too. I wrote to Carrie and Ken as soon as I got up. Beulah and I are cooking dinner and not doing a very good job, We went down to Dany's awhile to play cards. I milked the cows again tonight. Beulah can't milk. Have been reading some which I shouldn't be doing as I have a headache.

July 9th, Thursday
Dear Diary:
Audrey Franklin and I went over to Aunt Ella's. I got her to cut me a pattern from a dress. When we got there she was out picking blackberries so we had to wait. It was about 7 o'clock when we got back home. Ford and Magaline are going to move in the house with Aunt Cynthia soon.

July 10th, Friday
Dear Diary:
We were aiming to go to Dawson this morning but Buster has to go to Providence so we went this afternoon. I got myself some 10 cents per yard print to make my dress and a pair of $1.95 beach pajamas. Dad got Mother a pair of everyday slippers. She was down at Dany's when we got back. My nose started to bleeding a while ago and I thought it was never going to stop.

July 11th, Saturday
Dear Diary:
Have been making the dress out of the print I got at Dawson. I cut it out yesterday afternoon. This is the first dress I have ever made. Mother is reading in bed now. I am going up to Arties and show them my new dress which I have just finished. Mother and Dad said I did awful well being my first. Beulah never does anything like that.
