December 31, 1932 - Finished my sewing and pressing today. Went down to the library this p.m. Tonite Ray and I went to a watch party at Hazel Jochens. We played Bunco. Mike and Ray were tied for 1st prize, they shook dice and Ray got it. We had a really good time.
January 1, 1933 - To S.S. and church this morning. Read and slept this afternoon. This evening Ray and I went to the dance at Hoskins. G.P. told me a good riddle about olives and girls. Ray went home with Hans Ehlers. I went home at intermission and took the car. At first it wouldn't start, the simple reason I hadn't released the emergency brake.
January 2, 1933 - I wasn't as tired this morning as I expected to be. I went to Walker's right after school and took the car, went to Winside. I gave Viola Chapman a ride. Mother and I went to the Rebekah and Odd Fellow joint installation. We had an oyster supper afterward. Ray took me back to Walkers. We took Alma to Bojens. I got back to W's just as they were going to bed. They had League here tonite.
Grandma has mentioned Bunco different times and I never knew exactly what it was. Thanks to my good buddy, wikipedia, I found out quite a bit. It sounds like a lot of fun. No decisions or strategy, so it would be an appropriate game when people want to talk more than think, and also with a wide range in the ages of players. One reference indicates it is sometimes called "The Housewife's Drinking Game" - don't know if I would go that far after reading up on it. Ha!
I peeked ahead and there are definitely Iversen and Howard Iversen references in 1933, so much so that eventually Grandpa is just Howard, no Howard Iversen. This is good.
