Yes, she has some crazy notions about love! It is the biggest part of my life and yours, too, John. It is seldom you mention to me plans of the future - but you have vowed and prayed God to grant it - that you may "take that trip" and not alone - you are going to take me with you! A little cabin all to ourselves and moonlight, too, on the Atlantic! I know that it will be granted some day. Where did I get these beautiful arms? I have had them for nearly 18 years. How I love to frolic with you. You would make me walk in the middle of the street! You threw our ball away, too, and won a nickel from me! You won't choke George!! He will have some job stealing me from you? "It would not be the first time."

ContextThis is the journal of Virginia Lee Scott, my grandmother, written when she was seventeen and first dating my grandfather, John Arnold Wilson. It's a dairy published by Media Drug Stores and includes space for two entries per day, with facts about the era printed at the bottom, which I have included in italics. Following, 1928, is the journal of John Arnold Wilson, my grandfather, at age nineteen and in love with my grandmother, followed by my grandmother's journal in 1931. Archives
