A couple of mix-ups

November 16, 1932 - Got to school later than usual this morning.  Miss Sewell and Loren Agler visited the last period this afternoon.  I'm surely glad that's over.  I got a ride home with Earl Miller.  Early to bed this evening for me.  Mr. C. H. Walker's birthday.
November 17, 1932 - Rode to school with Mr. Walker this morning.  Nurnbergs came over this evening for ice cream. The neighbors (Maas, F. Jochens, C. Jochens, A. Walker, Rev. Schmitt) surprised Mrs. Walker for her birthday tonite.  Thought at first they meant to chaviari Bob and wife, we even had them hid on the stairs. The young folks played games upstairs in the girls' room.  Mrs. C. H. Walker's birthday, Mary Kahler birthday.
November 18, 1932 - I was so tired this morning.  The weatherman tried to give us a blizzard this p.m. but failed.  We went to Wittlers tonite for 6:30 dinner.  Played dominoes and ate candy afterward. Had a good time.

I got mixed up, as did the folks back in 1932.  As I was typing, I saw that Grandma had Mr. Walker's birthday on the 16th, but then was writing about Mrs. Walker's birthday on the 17th.  As I finished, I see that she was correct -- obviously their birthdays were a day apart, and apparently no one celebrated for Mr. Walker.  Then I kept reading and the surprise party had everyone fooled it seems.

Here is some information you may not know about dominoes.  From wikipedia:

     Dominoes (or dominos) is a game played with rectangular "domino" tiles. The domino gaming pieces make up a domino set, sometimes called a deck or pack. The traditional Sino-European domino set consists of 28 dominoes, colloquially nicknamed bones, cards, tiles, tickets, stones, or spinners. Each domino is a rectangular tile with a line dividing its face into two square ends. Each end is marked with a number of spots (also called pips, nips, or dobs) or is blank. The backs of the dominoes in a set are indistinguishable, either blank or having some common design. A domino set is a generic gaming device, similar to playing cards or dice, in that a variety of games can be played with a set.

     The earliest mention of dominoes is from Song dynasty China, found in the text Former Events in Wulin. Dominoes first appeared in Italy during the 18th century, and although it is unknown how Chinese dominoes developed into the modern game, it is speculated that Italian missionaries in China may have brought the game to Europe.

     The name "domino" is from the resemblance to a kind of hood worn during the Venice carnival.

And there you have it.
