Grandma's Diaries

After my dad died, I was entrusted with all the family history stuff he had. I've finally reached the point in my life where I can focus more attention on it and figure out how to share it, so here is the first of many posts to come. I have five diaries that my grandmother, Esther Melissa Lindsay Anderson Boulton, kept over a period of 25 years (5 years in each diary).
