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.

Casino visit

"April 16, 1992: Tom, Merilyn and Rick came in evening. Tom's stayed with Helen and John.
April 17, 1992: Rick, Tom, Merilyn and Howard went to Fort Randall to the casino.
April 18, 1992: Nancy and Dane came at noon. Tom fixed the stairway handrail so it doesn't wobble."

I am thinking Rick must have not been back to work yet from his accident, otherwise he would not have been available for a casino run. I don't think he ever took vacation for just a weekend jaunt. Grandma doesn't report how everybody did.

Not that Dane wasn't always fun, but he would have been three and a half years old at this time -- probably reading the paper aloud and calculating the odds of winning at a casino.

And here, for no particular reason, is a stunning photo from Dale's confirmation. I think we all look great!!

I think the thing I love the most about these old pictures is the hairdos. Both male and female.
