Fri., March 12, 1937 - Howard cutting wood all day. Elmer & Myrtle came about 10:30. Elmer went to town & Myrtle stayed here. Snowed off & on about all day. To lodge tonite.
Sat., March 13, 1937 - Cleaned the house this a.m. We went to town about 1:30. I got a new pair of everyday slippers. Went to Mrs. Wolff's with lodge work & then up home. We received a rose bedspread, a wedding present, from Trena & Mildred in the mail.
Sun., March 14, 1937 - Nobody here all day. Howard and I played Pinochle this afternoon and evening. We were over home a few minutes this p.m. Helen got a gift for me to give Gertie in Norfolk yesterday.
I am not sure who Mildred is, but Trena would be the wife of Andrew Andersen, first cousin to William Andersen. I really like the idea of getting a gift the March after a June wedding. Busy people put in extra time to make something for the new couple. Would loved to have seen the bedspread. (I just plucked a photo off the internet to add here; photo from Pinterest.com)
I don't know who Gertie is.
