Nora Bauer: Thursday, September 24, 1914
Went to singing class tonight. Helen, Clara, Madeline N. and Gertrude and Marie Rees went to the Ark. Almost forgot to say that I made the best chicken pot pies.
Nora Spitznogle: Friday, September 24, 2021
Took the day off and Kassie and I traveled to Batesville. Chicken dinner with Sally in Oldenburg, cemetery exploring, and ribbon cutting for new clock tower in Batesville. Wonderful day!
It sounds like Grandma Nora is having a nice week off. The girls that went to the theater are all part of the Saint Joesph's School group. I found this penmanship award article listing several of them. Here is what the saw at the Ark
Like Grandma Nora, I took a vacation day today also and had a fabulous time. Kassie and I drove to Batesville to check out the progress on her house.
We picked up Dad's friend, Sally, and took her to lunch at Wagner's Inn in Oldenburg. I forget to get a photo with Sally, but I did manage to get a photograph of our food before we dug in.
We visited a cemetery on the outskirts of Batesville and found gobs of Bauer's buried there. Grandma Nora's direct relatives are buried in the Saint Peter Cemetery, but I loved seeing the Bauer name all over this cemetery.

The town of Batesville is doing a great job adding public art to their charming town. This clock face is the latest project.
What a great day this was!
