August 6, 1932 - Left at 2:30 this morning and got to Nelsen's at 7:00. They were all in bed. Rained all the way. Went up to see Uncle Nels' and over to Mildred's this p.m. Ray, Howard, Walter and I went to the free movies at Kennard tonite. Watched at the dance awhile and then out to Andrew's birthday party.
August 7, 1932 - We went to look at a Chevie coupe this a.m. that Ray might get. It seemed to be pretty good. This p.m. we went to see Aunt Sophia and Jimmie's. Had supper at Jimmie's. I went to the Leap Year dance at Bennington with Walter. Ray and Howard and 2 girls and Ray's Ford. Stayed with Mildred tonite.
August 8, 1932 - Up at 9:00 and over to Nelsen's at 9:30 to go to Omaha. Mildred, I and John Johnsen went with Walter, and Ray and Howard went in the Model T. Mildred and I went thro' all the 10 cent stores. Went to the Orpheum this p.m. and saw Ralph Graves and Jack Holt in "War Correspondent." Also some good vaudeville. We both stayed at Andrew's tonite.
I can see that happening to some of us -- leaving o'dark early to get somewhere and then find everyone asleep. I know that some times, back in the day, people went out and about visiting without forewarning the folks they were going to visit. I wonder if that happened here, or with a trip that far away if any notice was given. It wouldn't have been in writing in this instance since it appears the trip was thrown together pretty quickly.
Who are these people? Is that "our" Howard? Somebody fill me in - please.
