Sun., January 5, 1936 - Snowy and cold. Ray, Willie, and Lillie came in tonite about 5:00. They're going to Omaha tomorrow. Ray is going to take the examinations to join the Navy. Howard brought me out to Goodlings tonite.
Mon., January 6, 1936 - Schoolhouse cold. Cold all day outside. Went to installation tonite. Howard and the girls came with Leo & Nels because their car isn't working right. Carroll installed Rebekahs & Winside the Odd Fellows. I was installed as secretary.
Tues., January 7, 1936 - Still real cold. Spring must be coming because the boys brought their marbles to school today. We talked until about 10:30 tonite. 21 degrees below zero this a.m.
Having never played marbles -- I was fond of jacks, however -- I looked up the rules. It seems pretty simple but I do not have plans to play anytime soon. My knees would never forgive me. The cartoon is from the 1950's, but I still thought it was cute. Also believe Grandma would have gotten a chuckle out of it.
