Winter Weather/Inez’sClippings

Page 55 Winter of 1939-40 Coldest over this part of the country in History. Colder in the south than in the north.Pg. 55— Grandma’s Day Journal– My Hunter Family Collection Timing. We have had one of the mildest winters in my memory and the bottom seems to have dropped out here in Missouri as the new year settles in. Inez often took note of the weather and I can understand why. In the Midwest,…

Summer’s Ice/Inez’s Clippings

After the holidays settled down, Mother dropped off Grandma Inez’s Day Journal. So happy for this opportunity to share!
