July 10, 1932 - I was reading in bed this a.m. when Arnold came. He surprised me. Went to S.S. and church with him and then to a picnic dinner for Ezra J. The Walker kids, Dorothy, Gilbert & Hazel Jochens, the Maas' and Harry, Alice and Lorene's cousin were there. Went to King's in p.m. Evie, Lydia, Mike, Bud, Arnold and I went boating. Bud got his trousers wet because he tipped the boat too much. To League this evening.
July 11, 1932 - Picked beans this morning. Went down town this afternoon. Mom came home tonite. We picked the peas.
July 12, 1932 - We canned 12 quarts of beans and 6 pints of peas. Cleaned the basement this afternoon. Mom went to R.N.A. meeting tonite. I walked out to Ola's and had Ray take me to Hoskins to see about my contract. I'm supposed to come tomorrow nite to get it.
It seems Grandma is having a busy and fun summer so far. I can't see her boating in my mind, but obviously she did. I want to say she went for a boat ride at Gavins Point Dam when Tom had a boat, but I'm not going to put money on that bet.
Nancy has been asking when Grandpa is going to show up as a serious suitor in Grandma's diaries. I have peeked ahead a bit, and although I found one mention of "the Iversens" in 1932, in skipping ahead to the end of the year (mainly scanning the weekends), I can't find anything of note. Hopefully Grandpa will make an appearance in 1933. But, who knows?
We haven't seen the butt photos for a while, so here they are.
