First time I’ve seen both a first and last name. Maybe this is a new boarder.

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.

Lillie is like, “I’m here for the fancy work and I shall not leave until the fancy work is complete.”

Lillie worked on her scarf. Opal worked on her rug. Francis went to town and got Lillie another piece to embroider.

I wonder what our writer thinks of all this fancy work and why they aren’t doing it.
