Two Noras: December 6, 1914 and December 6, 2021

Nora Bauer: Sunday, December 6, 1914

Made potpie this morning. Went to 10 o'clock Mass. Was to Vespers too and walked around town with Florence and Louise. Started to rain again so we came home on the car. 

Nora Spitznogle: Monday, December 6, 2021

Happy Saint Nicholas Day! A regular work day of meetings and such. In-person Indianapolis City Market Board Meeting in the City-County Building this afternoon - I'm the secretary of the board. 

It's so much fun to think about Grandma Nora. I wonder if it was chicken potpie and she killed the chicken? 

I wonder if the car she came home with her school chums was a streetcar? 

Our family always celebrated St. Nicholas Day by putting one of our shoes on the hearth and St. Nicholas would leave us a Christmas ornament. Now I put a shoe outside my door and magically an ornament appears. I now have a collection of at least 60 dated Christmas ornaments. One of my goals to organize all of my holiday decorations and separate out the annual ones. 

Our City Market board meetings are in one of the public City-County rooms - it's a little intimidating...the meetings are televised and the public sits in the gallery area. I'm always afraid that I'm not formal enough.
