Dear Diary:
We have been pretty busy cleaning house. I have not been anywhere around here much lately. I got kinda mad at Artie today. I am not going to say mad but I am not going to have anything to do with her from now on. We are beginning to need some rain. It has been awful hot but has been a little bit cooler today than it has been in quite awhile.

July 16th, Thursday
Dear Diary:
It is awful hot again today. Wish a cool spell would come while Carrie and Ken are here. It is always so hot. Mother went down to Dany's awhile this afternoon. I read some and Beulah went up to Arties. Ural Harper came this afternoon and stayed a long time. We sure do have fun with him altho he is rather pitiful.

I was sick last night and have been all day today. But am feeling better this afternoon. Opal Fox worked for Dad again this morning. I was aiming to bake another cake today and do several things but didn't feel like it. Mother cooked a ham. Mrs Jane Brown is here now.

Footnotes:

1. Silent Run is a wee place. At the end of a road is the Silent Run Baptist Church. One fact leads me to believe this is the Church where my ggrandfather J. J. Wilkie preached. This is where his daughter of one year is buried... Isabella. Jonathan is buried at Beulah.
