Nora Bauer: Thursday, February 5, 1914
Just got home from the Charity Euchre and dance. I had 9 punches out of 16 Dances. Had every dance and had just a dandy time.
Nora Spitznogle: Friday, February 5, 2021
Mailed 200 St. Valentine's Day cards on the way to work. I took Mom for her second vaccination this evening. I'm just thrilled that she's protected!
I don't know why I'm so surprised by all of the fun Grandma Nora was having in the winter of 1914 - I'm happy for her! She was earning money and paying her own way - she certainly deserved it. How I wish I could see her dance card! I wonder if Paul was there?
It looks like it was quite a party! Over 500 people attended - the population of Logansport was around 19,000 then - it's around 17,000 now. Euchre at 75 tables and dancing until 1:00. I find it interesting that parties and weddings and such didn't just happen on weekends. I love weekday events - it feels like everything always happens on Saturday evenings. Maybe it just seems like that because I work most Saturday nights.
I wore one of the new tops that I purchased at Marigold yesterday. It was fun to wear someone new and in softer colors than I typically wear.
It is really cold in Indianapolis and the temperature will be dropping during the week. I picked Mom up and dropped her off for her second vaccine to protect against COVID-19.
Since there is not much to (safely) do these days, we spent an exciting hour at a CVS. Mom hasn't been in a store for almost a year! She got stocked up on her favorite soap and other goodies. It was fun to spend time with her and we both got some steps in.
