December 12, 1931 - Mother and Ray got here about 10 o'clock. We went to Norfolk. I got a new dress and hat. We also did our Christmas shopping today. And it was a real job.
December 13, 1931 - Ray took me out to Alice's this afternoon and she fingerwaved my hair for me. We stayed there for supper. I brought my box with me. I got home before Walker's did.
December 14, 1931 - We practiced tonite. We put up the curtains. The Walker girls brought up some fudge. We worked on our programs at school.
Grandma didn't like hats much after a time. I do remember her saying (and I've mentioned it here before) that she said she didn't like looking at herself in the mirror long enough to pick one out. So, I really enjoy photos of Grandma in a hat.
So, why this photo? Well, in my mind's eye Grandma was wearing a hat in it. Which she obviously isn't. In the interests of full disclosure, I had tagged this as possibly an Easter photo. Now that I look at my dress, it is more likely Norris's wedding day. Or maybe I wore that dress more than once. I dunno. So, no hat and no idea when the photo was really taken. Egads.
I wonder if it was Mothers Day since Mom and Grandma have corsages? Anyway it is a nice picture and you look so cute in that dress and gloves not less.
