Underwear and kerosene and sandwiches

April 4, 1931 - Mended and washed my silk underwear this morning and Momma and I cleaned up the house.  Annie and Ola wanted to go to Norfolk today but we couldn't because Momma was baking coffee cake.  Martha, Florence, Edwin, Hans and Ralph came up tonite and we played pinochle rummy.  We girls played against the boys and won the first game and they won the second.
April 5, 1931 - Easter Sunday.  We went to church this morning.  The church was filled.  Uncle Hans, Lillie, Sophia, Ralph, Edwin, Hans and Willie were here for dinner.  F.S., M.B., R.K., H.B., E.B. and I were all down to Schellenberg's this afternoon.  Took crazy pictures, etc.  All went up to Uncle Hans', had supper and went to the Welsh Church this evening.  We thought there'd be an Easter program but there wasn't.  After church we went to Uncle Hans' and played cards! (P.R.).  Orville drank kerosene today and was pretty weak this afternoon.
April 6, 1931 - Visited school this morning with Florence.  Went to the church for quilting this afternoon with Momma.  Mrs. Trautwein entertained the ladies because it was her birthday.  I helped her with the lunch.  She served meat and peanut sandwiches, baked beans, pickles, coffee cake with whipped cream.  Stopped to see Grandma Petersen a few minutes.  Ray and Mom brought me back this evening in Ray's "open air bus."

Well, now I am thinking either Grandma did not remember her diaries were in the trunk, or else she completely forgot she mentioned her unmentionables in them.  Ha!  I suppose she wouldn't care that people know she washed her undies.  It is a much better situation than having people think she didn't. 

Now I have some questions:

The Welsh Church?  Was this a church in Winside?

Why would Orville drink kerosene?

Did the meat and peanuts go together on the same sandwiches?

Why was Uncle Ray's car called "open air bus" and was it only a temporary name?

I thought a cute photo of Grandma and Uncle Ray was in order.
