So come hear about the dramatically violent incident at a private zoo that spawned my most favorite magazine story! 5/16 at 3pm at #IowaHistory #MHA2025
In this July 1941 installment of my great-grandmother's journals, I had fun exploring Meskwaki crafts, an Iowa cafe, Dixie Cups, ocarinas, 1940s handbags, and inspirational advice. And my 2-1/2 year old mother played in the dirt.

In this week's installment of my great-grandmother's journals, it's June 1941. A looming war, Charlie Chaplin, living with diabetes, raspberry pie, and the Bread Loaf School of English. #familyhistory #womenshistory #journaling #diabetes #breadloaf #iowahistory
In this week's installment of my great-grandmother's journals, it's May 1941. War is looming, my grandfather graduates from the Curtis Institute of Music, and I learned about planting popcorn and decorating with feed sacks.

In this week's installment of my great-grandmother's journals, it's April 1941. She's raising chickens, shopping for wallpaper, and making fancy Jello salads. And my grandfather is giving a graduation recital!

In my great-grandmother's world it's September 1940, the world is at war, my grandparents are visiting with my 18-month-old mom, and they're all keeping a close eye on the weather in hopes of a good corn crop.

My great-grandmother's journals continue to fascinate me. It's July 1940 in Lake City, Iowa; life on the farm is full of family, canning, and sewing. Meanwhile, there's a presidential election on.

The latest installment in my great-grandmother's journals. It's June 1940, World War II is raging, and the presidential election is heating up. Meanwhile, back on the farm, life goes on. #familyhistory #iowahistory #journaling
