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.

Legal to drive again

"January 22, 1992: TOPS Club went to Tony's for supper and a belated Christmas party. Kris, Lois, Greta, Diane, Patty, Cleora and I went. Lester took Howard to Wayne again for driver's test -- Howard passed!! Hoorah!
January 29, 1992: Lester had surgery.
January 31, 1992: Pinochle Club at Elsie J.'s."

I don't recall what surgery Lester had but Grandma didn't say much about it, so I am guessing everything went according to Hoyle.

Glad to know Grandpa was driving legally after over a month of breaking the law. I wonder how much fun it would have been to take a driving test in one of the vehicles in the picture. Also wonder if they would let you get away with it if you took one of those in today.

I remember when Nancy lived down by Plymouth and Grandma had been doing really well at TOPS. She told the story that she was tempted to eat some cookies one evening so she went to bed early instead. Fool-proof method!

I'm not sure what surgery Lester had. Might have been gall bladder. Maybe I should try Mom's method of avoiding tempting snacks. But I would probably wake up in the middle of the night HUNGRY. My current diversion is a small glass of wine. But only one a day.
