Friday, February 17, 1911: I went to a party this evening in McEwensville up at Watson’s I had a very pleasant time. It was almost two o’clock when I got home.
Her middle-aged granddaughter’s comments 100 years later:
Grandma must have actually written this diary entry the day after it is dated. Sounds like a fun party— but, whew, 2 a.m. sounds late for a 15-year-old. I wonder how Grandma got home. . .
Did she walk the mile and a half home? . . . alone? . . . with her sister? . . . with someone else? Or maybe someone gave her a ride in a carriage? If so, who?
Did Grandma sneak into the house so her parents hopefully won’t notice how late she was out?

Haha…I can’t believe she came home that late! They say kids are worse today but I never came home that late!
