"March 28, 2002: Had a shampoo and set at noon. In evening Nancy and I went to Dale's church for Kyleah's first communion. After the service we went to a restaurant. I had a good variety of seafood.
March 29, 2002: Had some pills delivered. Delores came in evening and we played Scrabble.
March 30, 2002: Made chocolate dessert for tomorrow. Mitch and Anna here in evening.
Usually Grandma names the restaurant she went to. Either she didn't recall, or the food was so good that was the most memorable part. :-)
There are some year-by-year notes in the Winside history book and since we are in 2002 with Grandma's notes, I'll go to 1902 for a bit of symmetry.
1902
January 1, 12 inches of snow on the level, temperature 10 below.
January 18, the Winside Roller Mills burned to the ground.
March 3, L. S. Needham filed his petition in the district court of Wayne County, Nebraska, praying that all of the portion of the north one half of section 3, in Township No. 25, Range 2 East, Wayne County Nebraska lying south of the C. St. P. M. & O. R. R. right of way, excepting the portion which is platted, be disconnected and detached from the corporation of the village of Winside, Nebraska.
May 6, Guy R. Wilbur was appointed village attorney for the remainder of the year.
June 2, Board ordered all parties having obstructions on Jones, Allen, Whitten, Vroman, Miner and Graves streets, removed that the streets may be opened for public travel.
July 7, Harry Prescott was appointed to fill the vacancy on the Board of Trustees, caused by the resignation of L. S. Needham.
November 15, Board ordered the old windmill in the village park taken down, as it was decaying and a danger to public welfare.
December 23, an ordinance No. 58, granted to the Nebraska Clark Automatic Telephone Co. the right to use the streets and alleys for the purpose of building and maintaining a telephone system.
December 25, John Mundy had a 17-pound turkey for Christmas dinner.
The eclectic nature of these notes is fun. I wonder if L. S. Needham resigned because his petition to detach part of the town didn't work out as he wanted. And I hope Mr. Mundy and family enjoyed their Christmas turkey.
I offer a tension-filled photo of Miss Kyleah. Hopefully she was not that distraught for her first communion.
That picture really makes me laugh. Dane is so unconerned and determined to get those beads. All the kids had more fun with those beads than I would ever have imagined. Goes to show you that you never should throw anything away doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteLooks like Nancy wasn't very concerned about Kyleah's stress either.
I've always liked the photo, too. It has quite a lot going on really; the Dane-Kyleah struggle, Mitch standing back in order to stay out of it, and Nancy getting a kick out of the whole thing. And for some reason, the fact that Dane's foot is in the air makes it that much funnier to me.
