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.

April Fools' Day

"March 30, 1992: Quilted at church.
March 31, 1992: Finished the quilt at church by 2:00. Lois K., Bertha and Arlene P. came and helped me quilt for the rest of the afternoon.
April 1, 1992: Howard didn't fool me today."

Boy would I like to know if Grandpa tried anything on April Fools' Day and what it was.

March 31 is confusing to me. I am sure it makes sense if you know what went on but I am not getting how you finish and then keep going for the rest of the afternoon. I love that Grandma noted what time the quilting was done.

I probably would have saved the photos from yesterday and used them today if I had read ahead. They seem to fit today's post better. But instead I have this priceless photo from 1972. Other than wondering who took it, I have no comment. Well, okay . . . I am totally liking Dale's cuffed shorts and red(?) socks.

You can bet that Daddy tried to fool Mom on April Fools' Day. You came to expect that after a while - but I know I bit more than once. As for the quilting I think they finished one at the church and then went to work on one of Mom's at her house.
Don't ever remember seeing this picture.
