Nancy Jo....what gifts you have been given! Your Aunt was born the same year my Mother was but she passed when she was 83. My one Aunt is 94 but in a home and not doing well. How wonderful that you have those memories and those diaries! You said you were raiesd by your grandmother? I was raised by my aunt and uncle partially...long story...but they might as well have been my grandparents because it was my Mother's oldest brother and there was 20 years between them. Is the house still in the family? At least you know you have good genes! Yah....about that tree....was that before or after the tornado hit? LOL! And we worry about whether or not the icicles are straight or the lights are spaced evenly! Hah! Thanks so much for sharing! Those are the best items yet!

History has always been my favorite subject. And those items you have that give a window into another time and place are endlessly fascinating to me, Nancy Jo. How fortunate you are to have them. And your grandma and aunt have such beautiful names - Emma Belle and Glenda.

Enjoy the diaries, Nancy. You are sure to find treasures within. Maybe a passage you could share with us later.
The photograph is priceless. Even more so being taken at your family farm.
My father was born in 1916 and wore the same baby dresses like your Uncle Bud is wearing on a daily basis. Not only did they wear the long, flowing dresses, but intricate slips with cutwork / needlework underneath.
Where mothers from that era ever found the time for all the needlework that went into the layette is a mystery.

Nancy Jo, that's just wonderful...I'm so happy that your Auntie is still around, and driving no less! Wow! I feel like we are so blessed to know these women, and you are so blessed to have some of them with you, now, with those diaries. I love reading the thoughts of the women who have come before us!!!

nancy girl .. what a treasure that has been bestowed upon you .. and i know you are the very deserving one in this lifetime to hold them in your hands and heart! oh do tell us of some of the writings in the diary! do YOU keep a journal/diary? isn't it funny .. i do believe these wonderful forums and blogs that have come on the scene in the last hand-full of years is a wonderful way to 'journal' our daily lives.
