Mon., December 9, 1935 - Nuss at the house when I got home and told me Mettlen was having a party. I went to the party tonite. Lydia K., Gladys R., Schindler, Leffler, Nuss, Ethel L. and Garwood there. We played different card games.
Tues., December 10, 1935 - Went to bed early tonite to prepare for the rest of this going-to-be-sleepless-week.
Wed., December 11, 1935 - Grandad is 83 years old. Ola, Annie, kids, and Edwin here for supper. After supper Edwin, Florence, Helen, Howard and I went to the play at Hoskins. District 86 gave the play "Here Comes Charlie". Martha Utecht sponsored it. Harry H., Willard and Fritz Maas, Hazel and Gilbert Jochens were in it. It was good.
Here's what I found out about the play:
"This is a farce that poked fun of the St. Louis upper-class society. It concerns a wealthy St. Louis family, whose matriarch (an elderly widow) plans to take over the household of her nephew. All is going as planned until the arrival of Charlie, the ward of said nephew. Long story short, Charlie, is a girl, not a boy. And this provides a most unexpected surprise and the material on which this Three-Act Farce is based."
It sounds good to me, too.
Ola turned 83 in 1935 and thankfully, he had quite a few birthdays yet to celebrate being one of many in our family living to ripe old ages.
