Friday, October 2, 1925

Friday, October 2, 1925

Felt awfully bum and uneasy all day. Mama came over and I finished the little dress I was making and all the odd jobs I had on hand. The little outing comfort top, etc. Mrs. Collins came over a little while in the evening to see if anything had happened yet.

(And Mrs. Collins found that nothing had happened yet!

Still sitting and sewing. Grandma’s hands didn’t ever seem to have been idle. So much to do, I guess, or feeling that there was too much to do to sit and relax.


Fortunately for us, she did find time each day to write a few sentences in her diary. She didn't write elaborately, or pages and pages, but left us with enough info to get a good glimpse into her life!.)

  1. Time for the baby is getting closer. I know from experience that the last days seem like an eternity. No matter what you do to speed things up, the baby will come when it's ready.

  2. Hi Carol - I came to your blog via Stuart's "Gardening Tips'n'Ideas". Now isn't that the joy of blogging - finding new blogs all over the world.

    I want to read your Gardening Blog but because I'm also interested in writing Life Stories, I ventured over here, and found that I have many hours of wonderful reading ahead of me with your Grandmother's Diaries. I love the little comments you add at the end of each entry, too.

  3. Alice,
    Thanks for stopping by both blogs and I hope you enjoy these diaries. As you may have surmised, we are all anxiously awaiting the birth of Grandma's 5th child, due any day now, 81 years ago.
