Warmed
Ned’s cold loosening up quite a bit. Marjorie has a lot of cold but it doesn’t seem to make her feel bad as she is as devilish as she can be, as big a dickens as I ever saw.

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 can remember my grandmother, Ruth's contemporary, calling a child a "little dickens" when they were acting up or a lot of trouble. Its funny to hear these old slang words that I haven't heard since my grandma died in the 1970s.
