Sun., July 14, 1935 - Mom and I went to church. This p.m. I straightened my cedar chest and the covered box. Howard here this evening. We went for a ride.
Mon., July 15, 1935 - We got up at 5:00 this morning to pick cherries. We picked a little over a bushel. This p.m. canned 12 pints of peas, beans and carrots. Saw a total eclipse of the moon tonite.
Tues., July 16, 1935 - Up early again to pick cherries. We sold 3 bushels of cherries this summer and have a bushel or more for our own use. Got a card from Hazel J. asking me to come tomorrow and spend several days there.
Well, well. Here we are in 2017 gearing up for a total solar eclipse and there was a total lunar eclipse back in 1935 for folks to enjoy. Not that I thought Grandma was fabricating, I did look up lunar eclipses in 1935 and found this:
