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 4, 1914 and October 4, 2021

Nora Bauer: Sunday, October 4, 2021

Was to 9 o'clock Mass this morning and then went out to Paul's house. We came in for services and then came home. Uncle Nick kept us laughing with his jokes. 

Nora Spitznogle: Monday, October 4, 2021

Exercised this morning (jogged around the house in my nightgown) before work. Spirit Week at Second Helpings- hat day. Bimonthly Monday evening dinner with Kassie and Schaun, new place time - delicious. 

It sounds like Grandma Nora had a lovely Sunday. Add figuring out where Paul's house was to my ever-growing list of things to research. 

Uncle Nick (her Dad's younger brother) would have been almost 45 years old. I would have enjoyed meeting Great-Uncle Nick, he seems like a fascinating guy. 

Nick outlived most of his siblings, living to be 84 years old, he died in 1954. That was the year that Dad graduated from high school - I wonder if he got to know him at all? 

I found the copyrights to "You're an Old Sweetheart" and "Why Not Stay in Indiana," but I couldn't find the music or words. Add that to my list....I guess it's time to start writing stuff down. 

Nothing exciting about my day - I had to stretch to match the 31 words that Grandman Nora used to describe hers. I am working on losing weight - the struggle is real. I try to jog around the house for at least 3000 steps in 30 minutes. 

Kassie and Schaun and I tried a new "fast casual" place - Bibibop Asian Grill. It was yummy and healthy.
