June 2, 1990: Ray and Aileen stopped in p.m. for a short time. They took Mom's sewing machine to Luayne's. They had attended Synodical Convention in Lincoln from Wed. to Sat."
I believe it is Rose T. that Grandma is talking about. I hadn't thought about the Old Lady Tour in quite awhile. I think it was Mom's idea more than Grandma's, but there was a time when I went visiting little old ladies in town. It was good for me to be more social, I guess, and nice for the ladies to have a new visitor. I only remember visits with Rose T. Maybe others were planned but never came to fruition.
Rose was a good friend of Grandma's and a very nice lady. I remember being a bit shy and unsure about my visits but I liked going to see her. I remember her house being somewhat dark and full of "old people stuff" -- stuff I would appreciate more now than I did then. I am sure she had some nice antiques and maybe some handmade items. But I mainly recall her being friendly and fun and that we probably had cookies.
I have a scanned photo of one of Grandma's quilts that I planned to post today, but it is on another computer that I can't access right now. So, I put up a photo of my paternal great-great grandmother, Phoebe Wiseman. There is quite a story to tell about her that I will save for another day. She surely deserved a little old lady tour visit, but I bet based on the time that she lived, she probably would not have had the time.
