Shambaugh’s little puppies have their eyes open. Am going to have to go see them again.

Ah! As someone who is eager to adopt a dog or two, this cuteness makes me ache!

From the many loose pages of Grandma’s scrapbook, this was the cover of a magazine. Pretty adorbs, no?
I also kind of think she looks like Ashley Judd, who seems like a woman I’d enjoy having a good dinner conversation.

About Alma's Diary

These are my grandma's diary entries from the Great Depression, when she was 16 and living on a farm in Nebraska. The sweet image above is from a valentine in her scrapbook. I love peeking into her past and hope you do too.

Grandma Alma received her "My Five Years" diary as a high school graduation gift. It allows four little lines of writing each day.

So far she's written about canning peaches, her first date ever and cooking for the threshers who worked on the farm. She also shares her inspirations and reflections as an aspiring journalist and poet.

Hooray for G-Ma!
