November 30, 1931 - Mrs. Walker's mother and brother were hear (sic) this evening. They picked out their pieces for their Sunday School Program. Evelyn did some typing. Mildred, Bud, Mr. Walker and I played Rook. Myron went to Madison yesterday to go to school at Newman Grove with his cousin.
December 1, 1931 - I sent Dorothy and Hazel's playbooks home with their mothers today so they could start studying. This evening we played some more Rook.
December 2, 1931 - We practiced the play tonite for the first time. I think it is going to be real good. It surely has some funny places in it.
I don't know that I have all that much to add to this, so I'll leave it be.
I did peek ahead (not every day, but hit-and-miss) and it appears that for the rest of 1931 and a good part of 1932, Grandma was going to dances with Uncle Ray. She and Grandpa were not an 'item', I think, until sometime in 1933. He does have a mention or two before then, however. I just thought I would toss that out there in case anyone was beginning to get curious and/or impatient. I know I am!
I have been collecting direct-line family wedding photos for Dane; he and Alison will be doing something with them for their wedding. I was pleased that I had most of the photos he needed already scanned on my computer. It won't take too much more to complete what we have available to him. One photo I did not have, but knew I had seen, was Grandma Anna and William Andersen's wedding portrait. Thankfully, Nancy had an original and had she not been able to lay hands on it, Mom had a version of it, too. Good thing we are keepers of stuff. After all that, I thought I would share it here. I think it is a wonderful photograph.
