November 27, 1920: Was a very frosty morning until 10 a.m. but sun shone bright so got more dry and clouded over in the p.m. I baked bread and in between raises helped Will snap a load of corn. He took it to feed-yard (Wood’s) in the p.m. and went up town to do some trading. I cleaned the kitchen.

November 27, 1927, Sunday: Sun shone only a little, cold south wind and a dark evening. Louise and Dave got in at 3 o’clock from dance, so we had a late breakfast. We then got a dinner of chicken, etc. and Louise put new oil cloth on some things in the kitchen.
