September 12, 1943 – Sunday

“Nothing to write.  Pretty day.  Expected Carl but didn’t come.  Cleaned house and was very busy.  Still have a bad cough but feel swell otherwise.“

Well readers…this is the last entry in my Grandmother’s diary.  I guess life just got to busy.  I have enjoyed bringing these entries to you.  My next task is to go thru the scrapbook that my grandmother kept for my Dad while he was a POW in Japan.  I am sure there are lots of interesting items awaiting discovery there.

Hope you have enjoyed the diary!

“Jerri, Leonard and family came in this a.m.  They are leaving in a.m. for Colusa, Calif to live.  Sold furniture.“

Colusa is a small town about 100 miles northeast from Vallejo.  I am sure they missed having them nearby.
