Nora Bauer: Thursday, June 18, 1914
The circus was in town today. Saw the parade this morning. Was to singing class tonight. Just heard that some burglars got into [?'s] house.

I worked downtown at Second Helpings today - the usual mix of paperwork and meetings. I had a perfectly relaxing evening, doing nothing by myself.
Oh my goodness, Grandma Nora packed a lot into 25 words.
We'll start with the circus! At the time the Hagenback-Wallace Circus was the second largest in the country - and they were based in nearby Peru, Indiana - only about 15 miles. I wonder if this was one of the first stops on the the tour that year?
I love that they were the "gayest, gladdest, grandest galaxy in all the wide world."
I sure love a parade, I hope that Grandma Nora enjoyed it too.
I thought I'd find a juicy story in the papers about the burglary. Nothing! I tried to figure out the name and tried several spellings with no luck. I also searched burglar, burglary, robbery, and break in with no luck.
I had a lovely evening of doing absolutely nothing and it was grand.
Annie is doing better and will hopefully be home soon.
