Tues., May 5, 1936 - Mr. Nieman went after Mrs. N. after supper. Reuben went to League, so Verdelle Mae and I were alone. Mr. and Mrs. N. came home just as we were going to bed.
Wed., May 6, 1936 - Mom called up before supper and said that the soreness she had in her neck over the weekend was almost gone. I went to town tonite with Niemans. Mom wasn't home. She had gone to R.N.A. lodge.
Thurs., May 7, 1936 - Mrs. Nieman went to Altona again tonite after supper. Verdelle Mae and I made tally cards for Card Club tomorrow night.
This seems to be the first time Grandma uses "night" instead of "nite". Maybe all that teaching had an impact. I have always puzzled why she used "nite" -- seemed unlike her, but then again, I did not know the 20-something year old Marian Andersen.
Here's a photo of Norman. And also my sock and laundry basket, but those aren't important. Norman was almost 11 years old when we got him two years ago. He was very spry for his age and quite a character. He died yesterday very suddenly from a twisted stomach. We knew we wouldn't have him for a long time to begin with, but it was still an unwelcome shock. Rest easy, buddy.
