HB Journal for Jul 1, 1939

Oh Yes! Dear Diary the "better half" takes the pen while "Hubby sleeps".

We rose reluctantly when the alarm woke us but hurried to get Breakfast and send hubby to work. I worked around in the kitchen all morn making things to satisfy our hunger. In afternoon Herman mowed yard & hoed garden while I cleaned and entertained Emma R. Herm made a lot of noise falling down the cellar steps but thank goodness he wasn't hurt. Nancy was here too today. Well, it's 9:25 and no company yet, so I guess I'll wake Herm & we'll go to bed!

Commentary
This is the first entry in the journal where Jane writes the journal entry. This was to happen again several times in 1940.
