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.

July 15, 1912 - Monday


15 Don is not back yet or at least I've not seen him. He may be back though for he was to start work to-day. Dan has started to work to-day, too. I wish the 27th were here now so I'd be going away for the summer. Dan's two little sisters are just starting on their vacation to-day. 
I'm going down-town about 4:30 to get a white skirt and white shoes and on pair of white stockings & one of blue.  Till then I’ll die of ennui. I can’t even read!!!

I am going out to the D’s farm on Monday, the 22nd. Helen invited me. Decided not to go down-town after all. It’s too hot and Muz doesn’t want to.

15 Went with Dan to Don's house. had quite a nice time. Don seemed glad to see me. Read part of his diary. He thinks I am "a very lovely girl" He walked home with Dan and me and I gave him this fool book to read, a thing I'd resolved never to do but I have a way of breaking my resolves (I did not keep the one on Page 28) and he seems to be able to just make me do as he wants! Got "cold feet" and phoned to him not to read it till I could doctor it up a bit. He said "all right Good-bye" in a cold, tired tone and I went upstairs and cried. i thought he was angry at the fuss I made over the old thing.
