Lou Chritton's Diary, January 21 - February 3, 1946

My great-grandmother, Dicey Louisa "Lou" (Hogue) Chritton, began keeping a diary on the first of January, 1946. She was 70 years old. The diary was a pocket "five year diary" with each page marked with five small slots to be filled in on the same date each year for five years. This is an excerpt from her diary.

During this period Lou is living with her son-in-law and daughter, Leamon and Ora "Mae" Moot, in Wichita.

Monday, January 21, 1946: 
Mae and I went to town today. I got 2 pr shoes. It was pretty cold out. I was glad to get home.

Tuesday, January 22, 1946:
I cut out a dress for Mae today. I wonder how it will fit. It took all afternoon to cut it. Ha Ha.
