January 3, 1933 - This is Annie Brogren's birthday. I got to school a little bit later than usual this morning. I didn't feel so tired today either. The quarterly examination questions came. I went to bed rather early this evening. Lawrence has hardly been able to talk in school, he's so hoarse.
January 4, 1933 - It's been so warm this week that spring seems to be coming. Walkers butchered yesterday and tonite they fixed their sausage. They had 150 pounds of it. I and Mike tied the sausages. Evie got up today, she's been in bed since Sunday morning.
January 5, 1933 - Mrs. Jochens called up this morning and asked me to come over to their place with Laurence tonite. We surely had a good supper. Laurence and I played a game that he got for Xmas. He won. When Dorothy and I played, I won. Mrs. Jochens, Dorothy and I talked until 10:00 on a great variety of subjects.
Small point -- I don't know if it is the same boy or not, but I see two distinct spellings of Laurence/Lawrence in Grandma's journal.
I can certainly get tired of winter, but I don't know that I've ever thought of spring during a warm day in January. Clearly I need to be more optimistic.
