Excerpts, July, 1938 Modern Conveniences, or Lack Thereof
Monday, July 11th, 1938 It was hard coming back to work today. Last night sleeping on the porch was difficult. The full moon shown in my face, my sunburn bothered me a little, and mosquitoes annoyed me. It was very hot today although it rained twice. I think the rain spoiled opening night at our…
Excerpts July, 1938 A Bit of Heartache and… A New Chance?
Monday, July 4th, 1938 Sometime I wonder if I’ll be happy. Tonight I’m going to bed at nine. The girls have gone to Forest Park to see the fireworks. I didn’t go cause I didn’t like the way my folks said I could go. Mother is still angry since Friday. We girls went up to…

I have been posting these amazing photos from my grandmother’s collection. I have been transcribing and writing about her diary for over a year but I only found the photos to go with all of those diary passages a couple of weeks ago. I am obsessed! This will be more fun the more people I…
Zosh – Updated
Have you noticed that there haven’t been that many pictures of Zosh? How come, if she was the best friend, (and she really was, their whole life.) Well, the reason is, I needed something or Z! I have updated one post about her, although I should probably update a few more. Because some posts are…
You Must Wait (reblogged)
The end of the month of the A to Z Challenge gets a little tougher. I don’t think it has anything to do with stamina, just letters which are a little more difficult to come up wih something for. I was search old posts for something else today and I decided i would reblog this…
