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: August 31, 1914 and August 31, 2021

Nora Bauer: Monday, August 31, 1914

Was rather cloudy today. Gertrude saw Paul where she was going after ? and he hallowed [hollered?] at her but she did not speak to him. 

Nora Spitznogle: Tuesday, August 31, 2021

Long work day. My day was so boring it's hard to fill up the space with the 25 words that Grandma used to describe her day. 

I find this entry delightful and what you would expect from a 19 year old girl, even if it doesn't make much sense. I bet little sister, Gertrude, was delighted to see her sister's beau and report the encounter to Nora. 

My day was filled with work. Nothing too entertaining.
