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: June 3, 1914 and June 3, 2021

 Nora Bauer: Wednesday, June 3, 1914

Got some delayed Birthday presents half dozen silver teaspoons and tablespoons. Was over to Maiben's again tonight. 

Nora Spitznogle: Thursday, June 3, 2021

Another work day, interview potential students for the next Culinary Job Training class. Grocery store after work. 

Oh, the birthday gifts keep coming - how fun! Grandma Nora going to Maiben's again tonight answers yesterday's question of where Herman was working. Herman was still working at Maiben's in June 23, 1925 when he married Great-Aunt Teresa. 

Teresa's sister, and maid of honor, Margaret, would become Paul's second wife after Grandma Nora died.  I wonder if they had any inkling of how their lives would become intertwined? 

Nora receiving flatware for her 20th birthday reminds me that my mama gave me a set of silver for my 40th birthday....twenty years ago! I still can't believe that I'm 60. 

Just a typical day for me. I do enjoy interviewing potential students for our Culinary Job Training program - this group was very enthusiastic. I look forward to them starting their class in a few weeks.
