August 18, 1932 - Went down town for the parade this a.m. Had picnic dinner with the Brogrens, Kahlers and Ruschmans. I was with Ogretta Washburn all p.m. I saw Mayme and Lloyd at the waterfight and went to the dance with them. Had a punk time at the dance, the pavement wasn't very good. Edna and Ervin Ruschman and LeRoy Frost came up this morning for the picnic celebration.
August 19, 1932 - Mom is bothered with sinus trouble today. We both layed [sic]around and slept most of the day. Florence Schellenberg was here a few minutes this afternoon. Mary Riese birthday.
August 20, 1932 - Canned 4 pints of tomatoes and 17 quarts of apple pickles. Ray came in this evening. He's doing chores, etc. at Charlie Farran's while they're gone on a visit. They left today and are coming back Wednesday. Annie and Ola went to a party tonite and left the kids with us.
Layed? Goodness.
Sounds like 1932's Old Settlers' wasn't a huge success for Grandma or Grandma Anna. And Uncle Ray had to work during part of it.
I am thinking this may be a fairly timely photograph. I have it on good information that the two kids here are Annabelle and LeeRoy. And I believe LeeRoy (I think that is how Grandma spells it, but then with "layed" in view right now, I can't be sure) was born in October 1931. He looks a bit younger than he might have been in August of 1932, but I'm going to call it close. Cute little buggers, aren't they?
