I have wanted to start a daily journal ever since reading Grandma's daily journals, which she kept faithfully over many years. Grandpa, too, kept a journal during the school year of 1918, which most of you have seen. Grandma started off each entry with a comment on the weather. Here's what she wrote on this day in 1972:
"WEDNESDAY, October 4 ..... Rainy, cloudy. Didn't do much. Cleaned refrigerator & some drawers. Hemmed a pair of slacks, typed 2 lists of members of the W.S.U.C. Called on Verba and got eggs. Neva came after tomatoes in a.m. "
I'd say she did a lot that day. Of course she didn't mention making the "noon meal" and supper for Grandpa.
