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.

Potato survival
"April 30, 1992: Arlene R. came again to quilt. 90 degrees in p.m. and had to use ceiling fan. Potatoes are coming up.
May 2, 1992: Played Scrabble in p.m. with Helen.
May 3, 1992: Went to church."
As alluded to earlier, the garden apparently survived the snowstorm. Funny Nebraska weather -- 90 degrees and a snow storm in the same month.
Interesting how Grandma mentioned church. I am sure she went more often than she has noted it in her journal.
Not sure why I am picking this photo of Grandpa and the birdbath. Looks like he's playing with ice cubes, but I bet that's not it. The top of that birdbath broke and even though I patched it and managed to get a bit more use out of it, eventually it gave out. I do have the base however. Might have to put a gazing ball on it since trying to get a top to match may not work. Would probably look okay to the casual observer, but I would know it wasn't the original. I'm silly that way.
