Thursday January 2 1930
Got coal this morning & this man woke us kids up. Read, loafed & worked. [Trella: The coal was delivered through a basement window & rattled down the chute to the coal bin.]

These pages are larger than in last year’s diary & when you don’t do much they’re hard to fill up.

[Notes made in 1993 by Trella & 2005:
Living at 425 Ballentine Ave since May 1927 when we returned from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Daddy workd at Bindley Wholesale Grocery as their “fleet manager maintaining trucks.”]

Stuck around home doing nothing.

[Note added by Trella: In 1930 I was a 9th grader (Freshman) at Central Jr. High School on W. Center St. Doris is Doris Shuster.]
