Jell-o

The Home computer was in high demand last night as church newsletters and bulletins had to be done, so I missed posting last night and I will try to make up for it tonight. On Thursday, December 28, 1916 Bonnie wrote: Rain-Cloudy. Arose at 7:30 a.m. Made a fire. Got to office at 8:45. Walked over with Miss Shoffner. Poor correspondence. Took dictation from and wrote for Mr. Wiltsee. Aunt Annah went to visit Mrs. Seymour. I shaved after supper. Played with Norman. Ate gelatine. Wrote second time for diaries. Henry Hilton Greider died at hospital. On Friday, December 29, 1916 Bonnie wrote: Sunny-Pretty. Arose at 7:20. Made a fire. No mail much. Got to work 8:40. Wrote for Mr. Wiltsee. Mary and Mrs. Raines took Norman up street and had his hair cut. "Shriners" parade. Pulaski and Shawnee men in office. Mr. Raines gave me pine. Mary and I ate supper up there and I cut up pine. Turned colder at night. Sounds like Grand-daddy is having a hard time getting his diaries in for 1917, which brings me to a reminder that come January 1, we start over with January 1, 1916 as I do not have any other diaries at this time. I think he also had some of what we call today Jell-O. I don't know what he meant when he said poor correspondence. Was there not much to do, or did he perform the task poorly? I am guessing there wasn't much to do. Like today, there just isn't much work between the holidays. Norman finally got his hair cut as the weather cleared up. Bonnie mentions a Shriner's parade. I wonder if they had clowns and little race cars and a funny little car that flips up on it's front wheels when it stops quick? I love those guys. I don't know what kind of pine Bonnie got but he cut it up and there were visitors in the office today. Our family will be going to South Carolina tomorrow to visit the Allens. So, I don't know how much posting will get done, but I will make a stab at it. Have a safe and Happy New Year and leave the fireworks to the professionals!
