Thank you to all the many readers who read through these diary entries one day at a time through the past nearly three years.
As you've surmised, I do not have any more of Grandma's diaries beyond 1927. My aunt has made some attempts to find out if any remaining diaries are buried in boxes somewhere amongst far-flung relatives, but has come up with nothing.
In the next few days, I'll post some additional information on Grandma, Gilbert, Dale, Dick, Albert, Ned, and Marjorie, along with my mom, Eleanor, born in 1929.
If you have any specific questions, please leave me a comment.
A very special thank you to Annie in Austin, who did many kind, random acts of geneaology, sending me emails with additional information on some of the distant relatives and grandma's neighbors.

New Years Day. Zero. Too cold to go to Sunday school. Papa didn’t come out as he was nursing frozen pipes

Getting colder and snowing. Cleaned up the house and got ready for dinner tomorrow.

Rain, warm
Went down town to order the cleaner man and get materials for waists. It was a bad day to shop but lots were doing it.

Rainy
The house is just so dirty I can’t get the dirt out of carpets without raising dust everywhere. I’ll be glad when I get my cleaner fixed. The babies get black playing around.

Well the bookcase came. Mama was here but she didn’t get to see it up as we saved that pleasure for Gilbert who was as anxious as a kid about it. We spent the evening putting it up and rearranging books.

Fair and warmer
Washed in morning and went to Missionary at Mrs. Craigs in afternoon. Was expecting book case which arrived in town Saturday but too late to get out. Left Albert to sign for it, but through mistake they asked for money and he didn’t have any so they didn’t leave it.
(Aunt Marjorie wrote, "It was a sectional bookcase, and you could add more shelves. I believe we had four shelves, with glass fronts to raise on each shelf. I remember a lot of the books - Elbert Hubbard's "Little Journeys", a set of Edgar Allen Poe books, etc.")
