Ruth Campbell Smith 1925-27 Diaries

My grandmother, Ruth Campbell Smith (1892 - 1972) kept a diary for many years. I am posting her entries from 1925 - 1927 in this blog. Her family included sons Dale (1916 - 2004), Dick (1918 - 1971), Albert (1920 - 1979), and Ned (1923 - 1976), and later daughters Marjorie (1925 - 2010) and Eleanor (1929 - 2011). Her husband was Gilbert (1889 - 1937) and they lived in Indianapolis. I hope you enjoy this glimpse of what it was like to be a housewife and mother in the 1920's.

Cool

Cleaned up the house and sewed. Made Ned an awfully cute romper out of goods Grandpa Smith gave him Christmas. Put some trimmings and kitten pockets on it. Felt like I didn’t get so much accomplished as yesterday though. Ned was sleepy and fussy and didn’t play much. Albert is cross, too.

(Sounds like Grandma still got a lot done, even though she didn't think it was as much as the day before, but the day before would have been hard to top!)
