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: April 19, 1914 and April 19, 2021

Nora Bauer: Sunday, April 19, 1914

Got dinner today. Was in to school this afternoon to say Goodbye to Sr. Hyacinth. She is going [doing?] away with Bee. Was over Aunt Kate's tonight. Had a dandy good time. 

Nora Spitznogle: Monday, April 19, 2021

Another productive day at Second Helpings. Lazy night at home - I'm still tired from all of the driving yesterday. I've started watching Call the Midwife on Netflix - I'm really enjoying it. 



 I'll admit, I was super-confused at Grandma Nora's post at first...Sister Hyacinth was going away with Bee? I thought they were the same person. I'm guessing that Nora meant that she was doing away with her nickname Bee, and wants to be called by her chosen religious name. I wonder if Aunt Kate was excited about her daughter entering the religious life. I imagine it was a great source of pride for her. 

Nothing exciting to report for this Nora. I did run by Schaun's after work. to figure and file his monthly sales taxes. I'm enjoying watching Call the Midwife on Netflix
