Sat., November 23, 1935 - Mom and I went to Norfolk in Ray's car this p.m. Mom bought new slippers and I got some material for smocks and a woolen dress. Martha and Chris here tonite.
Sun. November 24, 1935 - Finished smock and made school curtains. Hans, Willie and Louis here after church. They had dinner with us. Helen I. here about 5:30. She brought back some charts she had been using. Mom and Ray went out to Ola's tonite. Howard was here this evening. Brought me a box of candy.
Mon., November 25, 1935 - Clear and warm. Went to the Ladies Aid chicken supper at the lodge hall. Howard here a few minutes. He said the special Rebekah meeting at Carroll tomorrow nite is called off because the lady who was coming broke her arm in an auto accident.
No messing around -- fabric purchased on Saturday, smock finished on Sunday. Ah, the days when I used to be able to make something like that happen.
That's a somewhat scary candy box from the 1930s in the photo (found on Pinterest).
