2/12/1913 vs 2/12/2013

Dora:
Went down in A.M.
Took the clothes, cookies, and hoarhound candy down and brought Ma home.

Ray:
10-18 Fair
Went to sale all day

Note: Ray's financial log does not show that he bought anything on this day. I would suppose that if anything were purchased it would have been paid for by his father, George.

Sounds like Dora went down to her grandparent's house alone and returned with her mother. And, if you've not had the 'pleasure' of having hoar hound candy then...um....you're probably better off.  Hoar hound is one of those tastes that people of a certain generation seem to like, or even love, my father being one of them.  It has it's own unique (read: TERRIBLE) taste, worse, in my book, than even anise.
That said, I wonder if Grandfather Stahl had a craving for hoar hound. Or perhaps he wasn't eating anymore and they were hoping to tempt him to eat with an old favorite.  Or maybe Grandmother Stahl was the one, worn and tired and in need of a pick up.....

Cayla:
Took Maurice to pre-school.  Came home with Ada and waited for the men to show up to do the back splash.  Once they came and we established what was being done, I left and went to go pick up the last remaining light for the kitchen. Ada and I did a little shopping after that and then went to get Maurice. We had lunch at McDonalds because the kitchen was un-usable.
The men finished around 4:30. They are coming back tomorrow to do the grout. Looks really good!
