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.

Crazy weather

"October 5, 1991: Rain, sleet, snow, hail, sunshine and windy.
October 9, 1991: ELCA
October 10, 1991: Helen and I played Scrabble."

What a crazy day October 5 was. I don't know that I have experienced a day with all those weather elements in it.

If ever there was a game invented with Grandma in mind, it would have to have been Scrabble. I am not saying she won every game, because she didn't, but what a great fit. I wonder had smart phones been around earlier, if we could have gotten Grandma hooked on that version of Scrabble you can play with friends in cyberspace. I am thinking she would not have liked it; that she would prefer to sit and visit and enjoy not just the game but the company of her opponent.

Here's a photo of the totem pole (thanks, Nancy). It is pretty much as I remembered it -- nice and tall and straight.

The totem pole is still in the park. Or at least it was there last time I was in Winside. It still looked like it was in good shape - a little weathered but that is to be expected.
