I am one of eight grandchildren. Grandpa passed away in October 2006; grandma passed away July 1994. While sifting through my grandparents' things, I found my grandma's diaries and journals. This is a compilation of her entries, entry-by-entry, day-by-day, in the 1940's. May you enjoy reading my grandmother's thoughts and learning more about my past just as I have.
Who's Who in Grandma's Diary?

What greater thing is there for human souls than to feel that they are joined for life - to be with each other in silent unspeakable memories.
~George Eliot
Family faces are magic mirrors. Looking at people who belong to us, we see the past, present and future. We make discoveries about ourselves.
~Gail Lumet Buckley

wonderfully timeless.
thanks! happy WW!
great shot! Happy WW!
I found your site thru the bloggie awards..I couldn't stop reading. I started at the beginning..I can't wait til he finally proposes! How long to Grandma's diary run, through their marriage?
I wish my Nana had a diary, she taught in a one room schoolhouse near Addieville IL then moved to St Louis..her parents were Riverboat capitains..and she married into a family w/ American Indians from Duquoin, IL..SO much history.
I don't know if your grandma is still alive..either way I'm sure she is proud of you.
he looks like a very grand man
Hi Val, great picture of a great man who fathered a wonderful woman you and I both knew as Grandma Shirley. I think she was on my side yesterday while I was having surgery, because everthing went perfect.
I made it back home from my surgery today and all went well. I have some pictures on my blog if you are interested in seeing where they had to make the incisions in the front of my neck. It seems so wild to have had this surgery. I felt like I had a band of angels watching over me the whole time though. When I went into the operating room I just felt so much inner peace and left it in Gods hands. Just like Grandma would have done. I sure do miss her and Grandpa a bunch.
