Partly cloudy
(Another day when it seemd that Grandma had time to only record two words about the weather. We all have days like that at times!)

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.

I wonder if she has the furnace going? I remember, in 1950, we lived in an apartment in Bloomington. Mgmt turned the heat off on May 1st & didn't turn it on till Oct.1st. There were 2 months out of the year when you could freeze to death.
