Sallys Diaries

Another snippet from Sally's Diaries Private Collection - see translation:

"Jax – Le Puy. Fair, cool, slight showers. Clara and I left 9-30 and walked to Fix (?) statue through Chastel Neuelle and the most wonderful wood of fir trees. Took us one hour. Took 11-20 train to Le Puy arriving there about 12-10. Hotel Terminus for lunch and bought Petit Beurre (a classic French butter cookie), fruit, egg cups, books, etc. Climbed to St. Michel and visited the Chapel and walked about the city. Took 4.05 train back to Fix where Mme and Mons Le Verrier met us to carry our supplies. Eve (evening) Mons Le V. read aloud.”

I’m so happy to share here a newly release book titled, “Our Diaries, Ourselves. How Diarists Chronicle Their Lives and Document Our World.” It was written by author Betsy Rubiner. She is a Chicago-based author, a journalist, and a long time, diarist. Her reporting and essays have appeared in publications, including the New York Times, The Guardian. the Washington Post, Time, and the Des Moines Register.

Iwas so blessed to have been interviewed by Betsy and included in her book, and soon we hope to interview her and share her thoughts on our Diary Discoveries podcast. I can’t wait to learn all about her journey when writing this book and what it was like to immerse herself into the lives of those who have gone before us, using their own personal diaries.
