If My Grandma Had A Blog

My grandmother died in 2005. She did not own a computer. I think she could have mastered some computer skills, but she had plenty of interests and activities and friends to keep her engaged in the world. She wrote things down, not fictional stories but events of her life, both past and present. After she died, I was given the honor of keeping some of her writings. I thought starting a blog with them might be fun. I hope readers will find it enjoyable. Thanks for stopping by.

Trip to California

"February 6, 1990: Mary took Tom and Merilyn to airport at 6:30 a.m. for their trip to Hacienda Heights. Nancy stayed at Tom's with me."

Alright. I have no memory of doing this at all. And I thought it was Aunt Irene who lived in Hacienda Heights, but she was already living in Nebraska again when this was written. So . . . either I am mixing up where my great aunts and uncles lived in California, or Grandma was mistaken (doubtful), or Hacienda Heights was just the best place to fly in to. I know Aunt Helen and Uncle John and Uncle Raymond and Aunt Marina were still living in California at that time so certainly Tom and Merilyn got to see them, as well as some of Aunt Helen's kids. Grandma obviously was at Tom's to house- and cat-sit. She doesn't mention Grandpa, but I am sure he was holding down the fort at home.
