I thoroughly enjoyed reading about her experiences and adventures. Speaking of adventures, if you're ever planning a trip through Heathrow Terminal 3, consider utilizing the Express Parking Heathrow service for a seamless start to your journey. It's a fantastic way to ease the stress of airport navigation and ensure a smooth travel experience.

Funny how time changes a person, history now FASCINATES me!! I have VERY little time to spare in my life due to being the sole parent to my two children (their father left the state, N.J. 8 yrs ago and does not bother with our children). I actually found your blog through PINTEREST (my addiction:). Thank you sooo very much for taking the time out of your own busy life to post this intriguing & fascinating piece of history!! I am adopted (i met my parents when i was just 2 months shy of 9 yrs old...i never met my biological parents, only spoke with them by phone, two of my biological siblings met them). The people that adopted me have always been my "REAL PARENTS" in my mind and my heart. My mom has kept a running journal of every single day of life since i met her!! Your blog about Josephine's one-line-a-day has given me an epipheny, i will be making my "demands" (lol) to my mom that she must leave her journals in their entirety to ME after she is g*** (can never bring myself to verbalize nor write the word "gone" when referring to my either of my parents). Your blog has also inspired me to possibly try and chronicle my own day-to-day journal on my own blog (i recently started one at wordpress, user name is modernmom73). <br />Thanks again!<br />P.S. the couple of journal pages on this page look to be in near perfect condition, are you taking any steps to preserve them for your children?<br />Sherry (N.J.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38191569.post-63319729000679453722012-12-09T12:57:10.424-05:002012-12-09T12:57:10.424-05:00Mr. Kimball, when the time is right, I would urge ...Mr. Kimball, when the time is right, I would urge you to pass along your ancestor's diaries to the Maine Historical Society in Portland, Maine, or the Maine State Archives in Augusta for preservation.

I am glad to have come ...This is very interesting! I am glad to have come across it.<BR/><BR/>Two things I wanted to note from the comments--<BR/><BR/>1) I agree with the previous poster that G. apple pies might have been green apple pies--that is the first thing that occurred to me also. Like a green variety of apple, such as granny smith, or just tart/not ripe apples. I don't remember what time of year it was, but perhaps they are apples that didn't ripen and were going to spoil and could be sweetened to make them edible when baked in pie form? Just speculating! :-)<BR/><BR/>2) As to Josephine being sick a lot--one thing that I thought was odd was how she said it sometimes, that she couldn't really sit up, but generally after that felt better the next day or shortly thereafter. I noticed this around Jan. 6, and the same time a month after, and the same time a month after--I would suspect that this illness she refers to which prevented her from even sitting up might have been menstrual cramping or other related difficulties. Basing it on the age of her first daughter, who is around 20 at the time of the diary, and the information supplies by a commenter that her husband who was 44 at the time of the writing of the diary and would have been 22 at the age of marriage, I think one can presume that Josephine would be somewhere between 37 and 44 years of age herself at the time of writing, if she was between 15 and 22 at the time of her marriage--so still reproductive age.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38191569.post-41139778101820766542008-11-03T13:39:00.000-05:002008-11-03T13:39:00.000-05:00Thank you for posting this first year.
