Rainy
Baby’s naval has been running a little and seemed to be sore but is much better today. She slept pretty good and I had a big day’s work if she isn’t three weeks old. I did as much as usual cleaning, etc. and baby’s washing and ironing besides.
(Sounds like Grandma was doing well, going full-steam ahead, just three weeks after having the baby, keeping up with her housework and everything else. Her general outlook, reflected in just a few sentences each day in her diary, also seemed much brighter during this timeperiod.)

Carol,
ReplyDeleteYour grandmother is my hero. I could barely function when my daughter was three weeks old!

I barely remember my gandmothers's house. I think she had a summer kitchen in the basement. She always had the vanilla cookies (round with scalloped edges), but at that age I preferred the very rich gooey kind. She also always had hoarhound candy in her purse we liked to suck on. That is a flavor I don't care for anymore. I assume you can still buy that flavor.
ReplyDeleteMy last comment was put with the wrong diary page (my fault) It should have been connected with the page about the house. I also remember (& I'll hear if I'm wrong) on the 2nd floor of the house there was a screened in porch which we weren't allowed to go in as the wood was old and rotted away. I don't remember when the house was sold. But I can see my grandmother (Ruth's Mama) living in various 'sleeping rooms', the last one being down the street during WW 2.
