75 Years Ago Today

Eileen's Diary

July 13, 1939 

This entry is a post from the diary of my mother, twenty year old Eileen KINNICK, 75 Years Ago this date. She kept a diary from 1932 as a freshman in high school until she left us, too early, in 1999.


Here is the daily entry for Thursday, July 13:

Up in pretty good time. Had Polly come down to see rash on baby. Took him to Carroll to Dr. Polly, Pop & I. Got new shoes. Didn't get home until 6:30. Ate at Carroll Cafe. Pete milked & then we ate. Glenn, Ruth, Bobby & Carolyn came & stayed until 10:00. Took baths & went to bed.

My comments:

Assume the rash was taken care of… shopping… ate at Cafe…

Not mentioned, of course, is that Nancy was there, as well, about 3 weeks or so from making her first appearance. When we say we grew up together, we were not kidding! ;-)

Here are the three Bolger kids, a couple of years later…

Families are Forever!  ;-)

75 Years Ago Today

Eileen's Diary

Mar 22, 1939

This entry is a post from the diary of my mother, twenty year old Eileen KINNICK, 75 Years Ago this date. She kept a diary from 1932 as a freshman in high school until she left us, too early, in 1999.


Here is the daily entry for Wednesday, Mar 22:

 Pete up at 6:00. He went to work up home. Cleaned the house a little bit. Norma, Ruth, Gertrude, Cletus, Dora here to practice. Left at 4:30. Pete home at 5:00. Made choc. cookies while Pete chores. Cleaned up and went to Gertrude's & Victor's to S. S. meeting. LVene, Verle, Arnold, Julia, Don, Norma, Ruth, Glenn, Gertrude, Vic, Orley Browns there. Organized class, played cards and checkers & had lunch. Home at 1:00.

My comment:

This was the "young married couples" Sunday School Class at Star Methodist Church. They continued to hold these monthly meetings, in the evening, in different couples' homes for many years… long after they were "young marrieds!" Ruth and Glenn my future in-laws, of course. Ruth was pregnant with Nancy, just as Mom was pregnant with me… 33 days behind! ;-)

And, chocolate chip cookies…

Families are Forever!  ;-)
