pretty day.

Mr. & Mrs. Bourne came over for a while.

Mr. & Mrs. Bourne went to Joyland Park tonight.

They probably went for the fireworks. Why didn’t our writer go? Are they just stuck in the house, day after day, recording who comes over?

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.

pretty day.

Elizabeth here for dinner.

I cut the grass in the back yard.

Opal & Lillie worked on their fancy work.

All the roomers left today. Will be back Sun or Monday.

I love the concept of fancy work.

Two pretty days in a row!
