Two Noras: April 1, 1914 and April 1, 2021

Nora Bauer: Wednesday, April 1, 1914

Rained again today. Went to church tonight. 

Nora Spitznogle: Thursday, April 1, 2021

Long work day. Errands and calls after. 

I should have gone to church tonight - it's Maundy Thursday, or Holy Thursday as it's better known. The day is a remembrance of the Last Supper. I am signed up (there are still capacity limits due to the pandemic - which I'm all for) for Good Friday Mass tomorrow afternoon. 

I love April Fools' Day and had fun with some innocent tricks. 

I spoke to half of the family this evening - Mom, Beth, and Ann. Annie sounds good, she's home after her surgery. I'm starting to *think* about packing for the trip to Phoenix. I was telling Beth that I've forgotten how to travel. 

Speaking of the Last Supper, here is a little grouping I put together as part of my rearranging project. I purchased this Last Supper/Jesus from Beth a few years ago.

Rock Star Jesus from the other angle

My favorite piece is this painting that was given to my material Grandmother Leona as a wedding gift in 1935 from Sister Rose, the superintendent of nursing at Saint Vincent's Hospital in Indianapolis, where Grandma Leona went to nursing school. 

Grandma Leona gave it to my Mom and Dad as an anniversary gift in 1976. Mom gave it to me in 2015. I love how the history is preserved on the back of the painting.
