"June 2, 1995: Pinochle Club at Ella M.'s.
June 4, 1995: Greta came in a.m. -- had flower bed by the street almost finished when it started to rain.
June 5, 1995: Greta came after work and finished setting out the flowers. I helped for awhile.
June 6, 1995: Helen and I Scrabbled at her house.
June 7, 1995: Our 59th anniversary. Got a permanent in p.m."
Maybe they made goo-goo eyes at one another, but Grandma's brief notation on the date of a wedding anniversary seems to indicate when you get to 59, it's not horribly exciting. Speaking of horrible, here's a cartoon of Hagar the Horrible that I found in the treasure trove box. Obviously, Grandma saw the humor in it. I could have manipulated the scan a bit to take out the background and make it lighter, but I thought I'd portray it as it really is instead.
