Thursday, Nov. 10, 2016 - Shelton-Mason County Journal - Page A-21 MARY'S MEMOIRS It's getting cold and staying wet on the canal this week. Amid prep- ping the cars for winter, a trip to the Postmasters banquet in Aberdeen, and Charlie's drunken antics, Mary turns 37 this "week. She wins a prize of three candy bars on her birthday. Sam gets her a big diamond ring. Mary and Sam spend a couple days in Seattle at Sam's Associ- ated Grocer's Co-op Conven- ition, and Mary gets some shop- ping with Annie in, and her hair waved. Enjoy! Thursday, By SEYTA November 1O, SELTER 1938 Sam went to Seattle and stayed all night. We had a lot of work to do in the store and in the evening I stayed home and did some pressing and went to bed early. My pictures came and they were good so now I go look for some folders to put them in. Friday, November 11, 1938 A very cold day and we put antifreeze in the Dodges and drained the big truck. It has been freezing hard every night and you can certainly tell the difference in the house. Sam came home with a big diamond din- ner ring and it is the loveliest thing I ever saw but so large that I can never wear it in Belfair. He is fond of diamonds, and I wish I could give him one for Christmas. Now I'm going to bed for I must get some sleep if we are going to that banquet in Aberdeen to- morrow night. I've typed more tonight than I have for a week as I've missed night school and did not get any practice. And Ill miss Monday too, worse luck. Mrs. Gladwin got a school in the Schomish [sic] where they had some trouble with the teacher and now I hope she will be happy and too busy to cause so much trouble as she has been lately. Saturday, November 12, 1938 We had a busy day. Went to the Postmasters' dinner in Aberdeen and it was fine - turkey and all the trim- mings. Saw Os- car Foster and wife and Mr. and Mrs. McGee of Abercleen. We had fun laugh- ing and talking. Mrs. Anderson went with us and she enjoyed her- self. Home late. Stopped in to see Hughes at Sat- sop and won three candy bars offhis punch board. Sunday, November 13, 1938 Henry came late last night and went to bed in the attic. Got up early and went duck hunting. Later he and Sam went to some of the marshes and got two ducks. I cleaned house, cleaned writing desk, attic, made up the beds there, mended all the clothes and now shall fix up some scrapbooks. Went to Mrs. Johnson's to eat and had shrimp wiggle. It was real good. Chet and his girl were there too. Home and sat around the rest of the evening. I surely feel like I got a lot of work done today. Dug some flowers to send to Mrs. Nielsen as I promised some to her this summer. Aunt Polly sent me some maples and we planted them out in back of the store. Monday, November 14, 1938 This was a wet day and in the evening I took the car to Seattle and got out to John's about ten and they were very surprised to see me for had got my letter and did not say anything about coming in with the car so they expected to meet me and when I did not call up they said it was rather funny. No word from Sam so we went to Chinatown and had noodles and they were fine. Home and to bed late. Tuesday, November 15, 1938 A fairly nice day and in the early morning Sam called up and wanted to know ff I had a clean shirt for him. So I met him downtown and we went to the jewelers and had the ring fixed and the mounting on my other ring changed. Then Annie and I did some shopping and it was a lot of fun. We got all the things that I had on the list and even the cocktail glasses that Sam wanted for Thanks- giving. Home and had my hair waved and it looks very nice. Sam came for me about six and we went to the Washington Hotel where the conven- tion was held and I met Mr. Joe Page who used to come by here and visit us when he sold for the Superior Cracker Co. The room was a mad-house and so full of people that you could hardly breathe. All of them had a glass in their hands and sought to put one in mind for somehow folks cannot understand why everyone does not drink when they do. The dinner was nice and the program was too. We had a good time and saw Al and his wife and the Art Crown's. Home and to bed late and told John and Annie all about it. Now we wished we had taken them along. Wednesday, November 16, 1938 A fine sunny day and we had to get the beef to the store and picked up see MEMOIRS, page A-23 Photos courtesy of Seyta Selter TOP: The placard from Sam's grocer's convention, from Mary Theler's collection.
