Fri., January 22, 1937 - Howard was down to Vahlkamps and over home today. They're busy over there scooping out roads again.
Sat., January 23, 1937 - August Vahlkamp & his team & Howard & his lumber wagon went to town. Howard brought home chicken feed. He had chills & a headache when he came home. We each had a hot drink & greased ourselves.
Sun., January 24, 1937 - Howard went to town with August again -- brought home some coal. Also oysters, frozen fish & soup beef. We had the oysters for supper -- also a hot drink before retiring.
I wonder if the hot drink was warmed blackberry brandy. I don't know that anyone ever warmed it, but I do know that it was Grandpa's cure-all for what ails you. Or maybe just one of his cure-alls, I'm not sure.
Friday over lunch at Mom's, we were treated with the news that Dane and Alison are expecting a little one in April. Sooooo very excited and happy for them! If Dane had only provided me with the wedding photos reprints I ordered, I could post a wedding photo of the two of them. I must admit, his delay in getting them to me only proves we are closely related. As it is, here's a photo from their trip to Europe last year.
