School's out for summer


Thurs., May 14, 1936 - Mrs. Nieman home in time to eat breakfast with us.  We finished fair work.  I cleaned out desk drawers after school.
Fri., May 15, 1936 - Packed books away this a.m.  Dismissed kids at 11:30.  Finished mounting fair work and cleaned the school house.  Mrs. Nieman took me into town about 5:00.
Sat., May 16, 1936 - Mom and I went to Norfolk in Edwin's car.  I got my wedding dress and hat.  We also got paint, the bedroom suite and cookstove ordered.  The wallpaper for "the house" came today.

She's using quotes, so maybe Grandma is still getting used to the idea of having her own house.

I do not know what Grandma's cookstove looked like, but here is one from the 1930's.  Pretty spiffy.
