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 2, 1914 and April 2, 2021

Nora Bauer: Thursday, April 2, 1914
Was colder today. Went up town this afternoon. Went to confession tonight and went home with Mrs. Medland. 

Nora Spitznogle: Friday, April 2, 2021
Worked until time for Mass. End of Lent dinner with Brad and Ed at Aristocrat. Red Key after.


 It was colder here today also. I probably should have covered my rhubarb and bleeding heart plants. 

I just realized that I haven't gone to confession for over a year. My confessions at this point in my life are starting to resemble by teenage years....I'm frustrated with my parents, I didn't clean my room...

I did a quick search of the Medland's. There was a Medland family that were Catholic and in the construction business. 

I worked until 2:00 today - scrambling to get everything done since I'll be gone next week. Attended Good Friday services at Saint Joan of Arc. Happy to see long-time family friends, Mr. and Mrs. Kramer. Not only is the Good Friday service a solemn occasion, with the pandemic there is no socializing. 

I'd planned to break my Lenten no-booze fast (although I'd already cheated twice - Saint Patricks' Day and when Aaron was in town) at dinner with Brad and Ed at the Aristocrat. We popped over to the Red Key to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of the Settle family owning the tavern. We sat next to Brad and Ed's friends Tracy, Jer, and Leslie. I've waited on themover the years, so it was nice to officially meet them.
