Nora Bauer: Wednesday, September 2, 1914
Got the specifications all finished today. Was working on my pillow tonight. Mrs. John Bauman called me up and invited me to out for dinner Sunday.
Nora Spitznogle: Thursday, September 2, 2021
What a fun day! I got to help with a food rescue on the Circle. Took Red Line to see a new-to-me band, American Aquarium.
I wonder what the specifications were for - I'm assuming that it was a Barnes Construction project. If it's the Mrs. John Bauman I think it is, her maiden name is Spitznogle (father Conrad), which I think makes her a cousin of Grandma Nora's beau, Paul Spitznogle. That said there were several John Bauman's in Cass County in that time frame. I had the nicest day that I'd had in a while. I got to assist with a Second Helpings food pickup. The Strawberry Festival wasn't as busy as the planners had hoped, so they donated the leftovers to us. Our partner agencies will love the treats and I had fun wheeling gobs of ice cream into our van. This was one of the times that I started to call Dad. He would have been delighted to hear about the ice cream. I've been ticked to learn he got his love of ice cream from his mother. Aaron sent me a link to the music of American Aquarium a few weeks ago and I ordered their album. I've been playing it nonstop since it arrived. I was thrilled to see that they were playing outdoors in town.
I try to use our electric bus system whenever I can. There is a Red Line stop just three blocks from home. It takes about 30 minutes to get to Fountain Square and the HiFi venue. I love not worrying about parking or having an Irish whiskey. American Aquarium did not disappoint. The music was great and the weather was perfect. I had a lovely time by myself.
