Nora Bauer: Saturday, December 19, 1914
Someone got into the saloon last night and took about six dollars in change. Coated some of the candy tonight.

Blank calendar except for finishing writing for Indianapolis Monthly. Of course I procrastinated and wound up burning the midnight oil.
Oh! Big excitement at Great-Grandpa's saloon last night. Six dollars may not seem like much, but it's $175 in today's money. That must have thrown the family for a real loop.
I wonder what kind of candy Grandma Nora made?
I'm so excited - I'm writing two pieces for Indianapolis Monthly, which has been on my bucket list, although I never dreamed it would be about food. I've been to sample the two food items that I've been assigned and have written copious notes. Now I just need to whittle each one down to about 150 words. I've had all day to do it, which means that I've mostly puttered around today avoiding the computer.
I finally buckled down after dark and got them finished and submitted.
