From Mom’s Diary… 1948
May 14/30 - Tommy made 5
Tommy was born on May 14…that made 5 of us in the family, now. This photo may from a little later in the year, but it fits my needs, here, how. ;-)
Sunday, March 30:
Baby awake several times in night. Fixed breakfast, fried 3 chickens, made a jello salad, gal. ice cream. Pete took Billy to S.S. & then went in town and got ice. Leo’s & folks came for dinner. Baby was fine all day & all evening. Men looked at Carricks, Irv Brown & Jeklles farms in P. M. Leo, Ida, Kelton in town a minutes. Fixed deviled eggs & another freezer ice cream for supper. Mom & Ida did dishes & I played piano & they sang. At 9:30 all listened to Horace Heidt 1/4 finals. Really good. They left & Buss came on way home from Iowa City. To bed 11:00.
My comments:
Buzz had taken Colleen back to Iowa City on Saturday…
Families are Forever! ;-)
Enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Martin! ;-)
DeleteI wonder what Buss is a nickname for. My mom had a cousin they called Buss. Maybe it's short for Buster or was a radio character from that time.
ReplyDeleteThe later is likely, Virginia. Thru her diaries, she used Buss. His actual name was August Edward - Edward commonly used. During my lifetime, and since (he is now 92) he is Buzz or Buzzy.
