I rather enjoyed these posts. Where can I find a guy to paper multiple rooms for $17.50? So, wallpaper, painting, leaks through the walls, Wow, now that's a list. I hope Bonnie's eyes are ok. I also had to do a double take about Norman taking meat to Scout leaders. Do you reckon Norman was teaching the Scout leaders about this? What a hoot! I have no idea what a bottle of Wampoles is. I will have to do a little research. It's also so funny how sometimes the weather lines up almost 85 years later. It's been chilly-cloudy, rainy and cold here in 2011 too. We have been very busy with the kids' activities and church and work. Rachel's play ends this weekend. Her birthday party and actual birthday went really well. Oooops! Almost forgot the end of month note, so here it is:
Norman took his vows as a "Tenderfoot Scout" on the 7th. Baby Jane, Annah Lee, and I went with him. Mr. Wm. A. Welcker was the officer in charge. Norman is very enthusiastic over the work. Mr. T.J. Towles died on the 22nd. and Postmaster Ellis dies on the 23rd. Much flu and pneumonia prevalent.
Did some research on Wampoles's. It's a pharmaceutical product and found a cool blog that talked about it with much more detail, check it out here: http://papergreat.blogspot.com/2011/02/delving-into-henry-j-wampole-company.html

Slow Sunday

I didn't go. Mary and the girls went to see Reva Wilson in afternoon. I drew one picture of my lesson No. 1. We got to bed at 11:00.
Sounds like it was kind of a slow relaxing Sunday for the Elmores in 1927. I can't say ours has been slow and relaxing, but it has been nice. There was some snow, sleet, etc early this morning that made a church decision kind of tricky, but we did have it. The attendance was down some, but not too bad. We had a really good Sunday School class just talking and encouraging one another. This afternoon has been Rachel's sweet 16 birthday party. 6 other teen girls here to spend the night. We had fun with them this afternoon doing a scavenger hunt, brownies for birthday cake.

Here in 2011 we have been very busy. Rachel is in a play at Attic Productions in Fincastle and Caleb is playing school soccer. Both of those things and then church and work have kept us very busy and as Bonnie would say "tired as a dog". Bonnie mentioned blowing snow late in March in 1927, and tonight we are under a winter weather advisory for 1-3 inches of snow! Hope Bonnie starts to feel better. The song Bonnie bought was 35 cents. I guess he got that on vinyl. Today you download a song digitally from itunes for about a dollar. My how times have changed. Lots of good soccer on today. Mostly national teams playing various games. Beth is off today to take another test toward getting her teaching license in Virginia.

As I have said before in this blog, part of what I like to do here is try and document some current events of a large scale nature like Bonnie did. In the hopes that at some point in the future my kids, or great-grand kids for that matter, might be able to look back and see what was going on in 2011. Since Bonnie seemingly had a rather routine day in 1927 and I did too, the big, might I say HUGE new story is the continuing unfolding tragedy in Japan after a huge 9.0 earthquake, devastating tsunami, and now a horrifying nuclear disaster. The news just seems to get worse and we are like 5 days into this. My heart breaks for them and my prayers are with them as well as the Americans who have gone there to help.

I found it interesting that Mary received another gift from someone else tonight. She had received a diamond ring the other night from someone who was not Bonnie. Tonight she gets a cedar chest with candy and it looks like Bonnie had the candy with a friend! How about Bonnie just writing Irving Berlin. Just go right to the top Bonnie! Chilly here tonight in 2011 as well. Caleb had first Middle school soccer game tonight for this season. He played some and did well, but they lost 2-1 to Hidden Valley.

This afternoon Beth and Rachel went for a walk and Caleb and I went for a run. The big news internationally is the earthquake and tsunami in Japan that has killed hundreds if not thousands and caused nuclear accidents at some power plants.

Wow how about that, snow on March 1! There is still hope for some more snow in 2011. We had not heard much about Mr. Wiltsee since last year when we read 1916 from Bonnie's diary. So, Mr. Wiltsee still works at the railroad too. I reckon we will hear about the meal at the YMCA tomorrow?
