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.

Snow

A cold damp disagreeable day. However I went to the show at the Apollo. Harold Lloyd’s “For Heaven’s Sake”. It was good. It looked foolish for me to go out in the bad weather but I had stayed in so long, was disappointed so often that Gilbert insisted that I go and get a good laugh. I did.

(Note for the weather, Grandma wrote "snow". 81 years later, we've had a few "cold, damp disagreeable" days in April, too.)
