Two Noras: October 24, 1914 and October 24, 2021

Nora Bauer: Saturday, October 24, 1914

Was quite a bit cooler today. Anna, Gertrude, and I went up town tonight. 

Nora Spitznogle: Sunday, October 24, 2021

At the Farm all day, J.R. and Anna joined so did Mom and Kristi.         

It sounds like Nora and her sisters had a typical Saturday. I wonder what Mamie was doing? 

Our mom is a terrific painter and we found a stash of her paintings in the attic. We drew names to divide them up. It was fun to hear Mom's stories about her inspiration for the paintings. 

It was chilly enough to light a fire. It's been fun to decorate the mantle with Dad's military memorabilia. 

Dad loved having a cell phone. He was the guy who would talk loudly on one in a bar or restaurant. He refused to let any call go unanswered, which was both charming and maddening. 

It was good to see J.R. and Anna and I was happy that my friend, Kristi Lee could join us for a bit.
