My grandmother's diary -- word for word, spelling for spelling, thought for thought, idea for idea -- just as she originally wrote it back in 1944 and '45. I hope you enjoy this glimpse into the life of an 11-year-old Swiss girl in Berne, Indiana.

Nov. 30

Today was a very chilly morning. This is the first day this year I wore my snow-suit. It is 18 above 0. Brrrrr.

I got up and helped mom.

I copied some songs.

I was going to last night, but Samuel made me go to bed. In reading the Bible, I am at Exodus 13. I have _____ for the Christmas exchange. Elaine has _____. I don’t know what to buy either of them. I want to go uptown Saturday.
