Entries for April 22 - 1911 and 2011 (Old friends)

Rita's Entry: Saturday, April 22, 1911
Home all day.  Practiced and wrote letters and fixed part of jacket.  F and F went to "He came from Milwaukee."  Fama doing penance.

IN RITA'S DAY: Fama had to make nice with Fran and accompany her to the show because the day before she had caused Fran to miss the Orchestra.  Fama and Fran both continued to be Rita's friends beyond the years in Chicago.  My mother remembers Rita visiting with them and talking about them; however, Tin remains a mystery.  There are diary entries where Rita talks about someone hurting her feelings - someone who makes comments about her violin playing.  It appears that Tin was in the orchestra with Rita and maybe there was some competition??

TODAY: While my mother still writes to several people she knew from high school, I have little - if any - contact with people from high school or college.  I was contacted recently about a 45 year reunion.  I have no interest.  I don't know if it is because I moved so far from home or if it is just because we women of the three generations are so different.  My daughter is much more social and is probably more like her grandmother and Rita (her great grandmother).

Judy's Entry: Friday, April 22, 2011
Good Friday.  Did some more touch ups on the deck.  Finally got a first coat most everywhere so the blue (see above) is gone!  Yeah!  Met Diane for lunch at the Freight House Cafe.  Fairly new and Interesting place, but I don't have hopes that it will make it.   We went for a walk later and then Mom and I went to the Good Friday service.
