75 Years Ago Today - Eileen's Diary - Feb 26, 1939



75 Years Ago Today
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!

This photo of the Brideson family is dated 38-39 in my record:

Wordless (nearly) Wednesday - Dick and Jeanette


Wordless (nearly) Wednesday
Dick and Jeanette

Returning home from being out of town over the holidays, it was so neat to open this 2011 Christmas card, with all the latest news, from my KINNICK cousins, in California. Neat cover photo on card!


Dick and Jeanette Kinnick Brideson Shapley

Jeanette was one of my earliest cousin correspondents as I began my serious research on the KINNICK family back in the early 1990s. She is the daughter of Gertrude KINNICK, one of five children of Alonzo and Nettie (WILLIAMS) KINNICK, along with my maternal grandfather, Paul.
