"Gen" ill. Just Evelyn & I on machines. Not so busy though. Lennie called Lorene last night & asked her to marry him when he comes home but her mother objects. Sure hope they can. German troops in Italy surrendered*. Grand news! Duane down this eve! - he & John Rucker. Said he had been thinking of me all day. Said was great, asked me when we were going to be married. Said could hardly wait. Gee, I'm so happy ---- I just can't believe. Am almost afraid to. But I'm sure he wouldn't say it if he didn't mean it.
* and Hitler dead!

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?
How am I doing?
Feel free to email me at any time if you have comments on how I am doing at this blog, or if you would like me to add some new information or facts that I may not have. Maybe I've made some goofs, maybe not, but I do know I would love to hear from you! vwallacecamp@mac.com

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

OMG...I want to shake your grandpa and tell him to just ask her already!!!
I love the use of words like Swell and Grand...
I know.. I am hoping that she is still writing in her journal on the day your Grandpa proposes! I can't wait to read that entry! :)
This is my first time over here, and WOW...what an entry!
This is really neat to see into someone's life. What a great thing to share.
Yea!!!! It's about time that something comes out. Can't wait for the real proposal.
Course I do know people who never proposed, it just happened.
I hope it's not like that!
Run away, Grandma. You are about to make a big mistake.
