Two Noras: June 2, 1914 and June 2, 2021

Nora Bauer: Tuesday, June 2, 1914

Herman started to work today and came home this noon discouraged and said he would not go back. But I got him to go back and went over tonight helped him. 

Nora Spitznogle: Wednesday, June 2, 2021

Worked and had a Tonic Ball meeting this evening. Nephew John's Baccalaureate Mass was moved indoors due to rain - only immediate family could attend. Puttered around the house this evening. 

Poor Herman started work just one week after his high school graduation. That Spitznogle work ethic runs strong! I wonder if this was at Maiben's Laundry? Great-Uncle Herman retired from there. I love that Grandma Nora not only talked him in to going back to work, but helped him when she was done with her work. 

I was disappointed that I wasn't able to attend John's Baccalaureate Mass. The upside was that I was able to attend a Tonic Ball committee meeting - a real live in-person meeting! I haven't been able to do that in the last 16 months. 

If I would just focus an hour on cleaning the house, everything would be sparking. Maybe tomorrow....
