"January 9, 1991: Didn't go to W of ELCA. Howard dizzy all day. Busy Bees met here.
January 21, 1991: Kyleah Dianna born, weighed 8 lbs. __ oz.
January 22, 1991: Helen and John took Howard and me to Pierce. Howard has high blood pressure - has some pills to take."
Again, lots of details on the brand new baby. At least Grandma was consistent, but I believe she added an extra 'n' to Diana. I have quite a few very cute pictures of Mitch and Kyleah when they were babies, but of course, I cannot lay hands on any at the moment. So, here is one from a few Easters down the road, 1994 to be exact. Kyleah recently commented that she is probably sad in the photo because her mother made her wear "the worst outfit ever" and Lynn commented about the Cheetos crud on that white collar adding to her dear daughter's attractiveness. Mitch is having a blast, at least.
I remember going to the hospital to see Lynn and Kyleah. I don't remember Dale being there at the time. Kyleah was the cutest thing and still is, actually. In comparing her to Mitch, who was the only real comparison I had at the time, her features looked really tiny even though she and Mitch weighed about the same. In her newborn hospital picture, Kyleah looked exceptionally alert for being such a new little thing.
And because I am as unorganized with thoughts and recipes as I am with photos, the recipe will have to wait.
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.
I have to disagree with Kyleah - I think her outfit is cute. Cute picture all the way around.
