July 16, 1947

Pretty this am. Rain this eve.

Flora here for dinner.

Francis came this afternoon.

Also her boyfriend.

Garland Yankey.

Then Phillip.

I wonder if people pay to eat here. I hope so.

About my little diary project

The goal is to post entries from the diaries and journals of my ancestors, willing friends and family, myself, and found public sources like a diary my godmother discovered in a Kentucky resale shop. I want to organize them by writer, date, and where possible, geographic location. The reason: I want to honor and create a shared, minimally curated source of daily accounts of life from ordinary people. If you’d like to participate, contact me for guidelines.
