My mom's 1965 diary

A follow-along adventure for the next twelve months.

If you knew me from Twitter back when it was a viable platform, you may remember this series of posts ported over from Blogger - my mom’s 1965 pocket diary, copied, translated, and annotated by yours truly. There are three days per page and notes to go along. This link is to the first post, "Introduction to Dorothy"and at the end of each post is a link to the following page.

It is, to me at least, a fascinating time capsule into life 60 years ago. My family was working class, struggling, and dealing with a fourteen year-old spoiled brat of a son. Um, that’s me.

Follow along if you like, ask questions if you have them, and let me know if any of this is in any way enlightening.

Thanks for reading.

Happy New Year!
