Two Noras: 1915 and 2023

My  paternal grandmother, Nora, was a great recorder of daily events. I have her daily notes from 1913, 1914, 1915, 1916, 1918, 1919, 192...

Two Noras: January 12, 1914 and January 12, 2021

Nora Bauer: Monday, January 12, 1914

Was above zero today. Was uptown this afternoon. Worked on my centerpiece tonight. Wrote to Ruth Smith today. 

Nora Spitznogle, Tuesday, January 12, 2021

Took Dad for his first COVID-19 vaccine this morning. We picked up Kassie for a trip to Batesville. 


Grandma Nora's statement that it was above zero answers yesterday's question about how cold was cold. I'm still wondering what the centerpiece is for - and what it looks like for that matter. And who is Ruth Smith? So many mysteries! 


My day was busy. Drove to Lebanon to take Dad up for his first of two COVID-19 vaccinations, he'll get the second round in 28 days. We then drove to Indianapolis to pick up Kassie and head to Batesville, where Kassie is remodeling her new (built in 1911) home. We picked up Sally - friend of Dad's and neighbor to Kassie - and Schaun - who is working on Kassie's house - and had lunch at the Sherman House

Kassie and I drove on to Cincinnati to pick up things we won at an online auction. Plenty of laughing and storytelling in the car. I drove back to Indianapolis to drop Kassie at home, on to Lebanon to take Dad home, and back to Indy. A fun day, but too much time behind the wheel.
