75 Years Ago Today

Eileen's Diary

July 12, 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, July 12:

Overslept. Didn't get up until 6:30. Did we hurry. Junior helping bind again. Polly here a minute. Bathed baby. Ila did sep. & dishes. In town & washed. Home & got dinner for boys. Baby fussed awhile after dinner. Ila cleaned the house. Rested. Gertrude, Everett, Anita Carlson, John, Jeanette here just while we were eating. Lil & Del, Bertha, Warren, Roberta, Dennis came use as Pete got through milking. Left early. Bathed & went to bed.

My comments:

Baby not getting enough attention…  !!??!!  ;-)

Too many "guests," as well. ;-)

Binding oats, in the field...

Families are Forever!  ;-)

Eileen's Diary

Feb 26, 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 Sunday,  Feb 26:

Bussy got us up at 7:30. Did usual work. Made a gallon of ice cream. Cleaned up & went in home to dinner. John, Jeannette, Gertrude & Everett were there. Played piano and talked in the p.m. Home at 5:00. Chored, ate. I made an angel food. Julia & Arnold came. Frosted the cake, played pitch and ate cake. They left at 12:30.

My comment: Notice she mentioned the young children first, this time. What is on her mind, do you suppose?

Sounds like a fun evening!
