Not much to look at I know, but I love them. They span from 1961 to 1974 and most of the entries are just day to day life for her on the farm in SE Colorado. There are many notations about the weather and when she had a perm or colored her hair (which she denied doing...lol). There are a some personal writings though and I've found out that she was a thinker and ponderer. The journals have brought her back to me and at times it's almost overwhelming. She was my Dad's mom and he was so much like her and I am so much like them both, with a little of my mom thrown in for good measure! ;o) Yesterday would have been her 88th birthday and it's odd that it fell on Alzheimer's Day because that is what hastened her death.
I miss you Grandma and I love you.
