Our great-grandmother was an amazing woman. And here, one hundred years later, we have her diary.
Take a trip to the past through the eyes of a teen-age girl, and marvel at how the world has changed -
and the many ways it has not.

June 20, 1912 - Thursday


20 Loafed. Dan gave me the rose out of his button hole. Now, what in the name of the Great horned donkey, am I to do with the thing? Ah! An inspiration! I shall paste it here.


In the margin: Had a peachy auto ride to Warehouse Point with Dr. C and Muz. Had 1 box candy, 1 bar milk choc., 1 College Ice, and 1 glass of sarsaparilla. Tire burst. but not I.

    There is a website you might be interested in viewing. They are all about letters and a way of keeping the art alive. www.lettrs.com. Would be so inspiring to share these in the format they offer. Beautiful memoirs of a lovely lady.
