Thursday 8    In the  morning Mamma and I went shoping[sic] that took all morning. In the afternoon Vera Perry came over and we went to call on Ruth & Gladys Martin. Then we went down to the grocery. In the evening I sewed and told Esther & May about our trip next week.  

Friday 9   May and I went and picked berries at Henderson’s for the last time this year. I only picked 15 quarts today but Mrs Henderson gave me 1-1/2¢ a quart for all the berries I had picked during the year so that counted up. I can hardly wait for our trip. Oh joy.

Saturday 10   Today I helped mamma get ready. In the afternoon I took care of the baby for Edna while she made me two shirt waistes[sic]. I wish she was going north too. Oh how the time does drag. Oh for Monday night.
