Nora Bauer: Friday, February 13, 1914
Was up town this afternoon and bought a small centerpiece and worked on it in the office. Paul called me up this evening and asked me if I got any Valentines yet.

Got a good night's sleep and puttered around baking and frosting cookies and putting together St. Valentine's Day treats. Cold day! I worked at the Red Key and we were busy.
I still haven't figured out where Grandma Nora was working. I get the feeling it was part-time, but I'm just guessing. More centerpieces - what the heck?
It sounds like Paul was anxious for his Valentine's Day greeting to arrive!
I've hosted a Saint Valentine's Day party for decades - in light of the pandemic it would be irresponsible to stuff people into my small house. Since I've been gone so much, I'm a relieved to not be running around like a nut cleaning and baking and decorating. At one point I thought I'd invite a handful of people to have a beer around a fire in by backyard. It's going to be so cold - around zero with the wind chill - that I'm scrapping that idea also.
I baked several dozen cookies for gift bags that I'll deliver tomorrow - I've added splits of bubbly and a PEZ dispenser to each one.
Work at the Red Key was busy, especially because I was the cook too. I can't imagine how wed did it when the bar was at 100% capacity.
