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: March 3, 1914 and March 3, 2021

Nora Bauer: Tuesday, March 3, 1914
Was working pretty hard today. Got my trial balance. Anna [sister] went to her club tonight and I was doing fancy work. 

Nora Spitznogle: Wednesday, March 3, 2021
Another busy day at work - we're interviewing potential Culinary Job Training students. I stopped at the grocery store after work. 

As we learned a little earlier, Grandma Nora was the bookkeeper for Mr. Barnes, who was in the construction business. I wonder if she was running the trail balance for March or for 1913? Was she training Margaret also? 

I think I've mentioned that going to the grocery store or getting gas used to be something that I would do on the fly and consider a chore. Now my weekly trip to Aldi is a treat. Aldi has upped their selection of organic fruits and veggies over the years and I love exploring the lovely Aisle of Surprises - some people call it the Aisle of Shame or the Aisle of Sh*t. 

We had ten Culinary Job Training interviews today - it's great to hear the excitement in the prospective student interviews, but sometimes their stories break your heart. 

I didn't do much but dawdle when I got home....no painting. Again.
