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: October 26, 1914 and October 26, 2021

Nora Bauer: Monday, October 26, 1914

Had very funny weather today. Had the first snow too. Saw the Republican parade tonight. There were autos. 

Nora Spitznogle: Tuesday, October 26, 2021

Worked downtown today. I'm happy for a quiet evening at home after being at the Farm all week. 


Oh there were autos! I'm having trouble clipping a blurb about the parade from the newspaper archive site, but it reported that there were over 100 decorated automobiles and elephants too!


 
I put my garden to bed for the season when I got home from work, although sadly there wasn't much to do. I brought the rest of the green tomatoes to ripen in the house. The squirrels consumed most of the crop - I thought this tomato looked looked a little shocked by the turn of events.
