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.

A baptism and some stuff

March 3, 1991: Mitchell Howard was baptized. Jayson and a cousin of Rick's were sponsors. Had dinner at Greta's.
March 8, 1991: Pinochle at Marie H.'s.
March 13, 1991: No Women of ELCA -- stormy and icy.
March 20, 1991: Busy Bees at Nelle's.
March 22, 1991: I had Pinochle Club."

I kept going with multiple entries since most were rather sparse. Kept looking for something with some meat in it, no offense to Mitch and his baptism. I have some pictures but none scanned and ready to post; but will remedy that in the future. He wore a baptismal gown that was worn by other family members - I will have to find out how many we know of for sure. He behaved himself pretty well; thankfully I knew the "gnaw on Mom's knuckle" trick since it did come in handy at least once.

I finally have a decent photo of Grandpa's garden and so am posting that today instead. Tom looks to be having a grand time. I love all the colors of green in the picture, foreground and background.

I could be wrong, but I feel as though the only help I was able to contribute to the garden was throwing big dirt clumps around to break them up. Otherwise, I only remember picking veggies right off the vine and eating them. The peas were my favorite. Again, if I'm remembering correctly.
