Mary Kauer: Sept. 25, 1924 Rib Lake, Wis.

Hello Friends,
I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. On Saturday my husband and I went to Marshfield . On the way there we saw two bald eagles along side the road on the north side of Stetsonville eating a dead animal. That for us is really rare to see one eagle but to see two is something I will not see again for a long time.
We also saw in a field a  picture perfect kind of buck on hot pursuit of a doe. What I mean by a picture perfect deer is a perfect ten point or bigger rack and a big body on the buck. And no time to take a picture.
Anyway enough about my weekend, here is the next letter from Mary Kauer.

As always here is what it says:

               Rib Lake Wis.
               Sept. 25, 1924
Hello Howard,
   Well, I'll have to
mail this letter today if
you are to get it by
Sat. so I'll try my luck.
  How did you come
thru the storm we had
Sunday? Was it bad
around your place? It
seems that it struck
every place but Rib Lake.
Must be the people
in Rib Lake are pretty
good, after all. Our
house shook just a

little so you could notice
it. There were some trees
across the road but nothing
else happened that I heard
of. But the wind sounded
just terrible.
  Did you and Rose go to
Wellington or did you
get scared out, too.
  Some man from here was
coming home from West-
boro and said the
 wind almost tipped his
car. It was going up and
down all the time.
  Did you see Rose this
week already or are you

too busy to go bumming
around.
  We were to that picnic
Sunday but it wasn't very
nice. Aver Everything
was so muddy & wet and
then to finish it I fell
under the swing and
got my coat all muddy.
  So long & best wishes
               from Mary K.
I think this is a fair
size letter don't you?

It sounds like they had a good storm that week. I'm everyone made it through.
I wonder how long Grandpa and Rose were a thing?
I wonder what she was doing that she fell under the swing into the mud?
So many questions that will never be answered.

Oh well, here are a few random pictures for you to look at.
Remember if you see someone you know just let me know.

I wonder what they are looking at. This picture was taken at Weberg's. Kind looks like a hole in the ground or a wash out. What do you think?

No idea who this little boy is. But to me he looks like he was cross eyed. But a picture can be very deceiving.

 No idea who this couple is.

Well that's about it for today.
So best wishes to all,
from your friend,
Sandy

Mary: July 29, 1924 Rib Lake, Wis.

Hello Friends,
How was your week? Mine was the same old same old. This weekend I will painting my living room and hallway. So I will starting to tape things up and getting thing out of the way so we can paint. me and my youngest daughter will have a busy day on Saturday.
Anyway here is the next letter from Mary.

As always, here is what it says:

          Rib Lake, Wis

          July 23, 1924

Hello Howard,

   Well, since I am

not busy just now

I'll try and right

write a decent letter.

I sp'ose your busy making

hay while the sun shines

and I'm glad I've not

got your job today.

Me for the shade.

I like warm weather

but if I had to work

outdoors today I

think I'd die.

  How'd you spend

your Sunday. I didn't

see you at Wellington

But Rosie gave me an

introduction to Dorthy

Mathews & Mildred  Engstrom.

Saturday evening I was

to a barn dance 7 Sunday

afternoon to a church

picnic out at Greenwood.

And Monday morning I

was so tired I almost

forgot to git up.

  How did you get home?

I hope you didn't break

down on the way.

And did they make you get

up at 5 o'clock again?

Say, I told Rosie about

those nets and she laughed

like a fool. She said:

"Well that's going some.' She

can laugh because she

doesn't use them any more.

   Well so long now

    good luck from

           Mary

Wellington is a lake that people like to hang out at, then and now. I've been there I think maybe once that I can think of. I am a swimmer but I did most of my swimming at the lake my other grandparents lived on, Sacketts Lake and  Mondeaux Dam. But a lot of people from the Rib lake area hung out there. I'm sure how much they do now a days. As for Greenwood, that's south of here aways so that was a lot of running around for a weekend. 

I'm not sure right now if Dorthy Mathews or Mildred Engstrom wrote to Grandpa but we'll find out over time if any of their letters show up here.

Well it looks like the hairnet in the last letter was her just being funny.

Now for a few random pictures based on things mentioned in this letter.

Just a couple of pictures taken at some lake. No idea who are in them.

And another picture of someone sitting on top of a hay pile. it kind of looks like it could be one of Grandpa and Grandma's kids.

Well that's about all I have this time.

Tomorrow, I paint. Wish me luck.

Your friend,

Sandy
