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.

A start to the house painting

"May 16, 1992: Had a good rain last night -- over an inch. Lester took me to Wayne and I bought the rest of the paint for the house.
May 18, 1992: Went to Wakefield with Lila -- bought flower plants, etc. Mrs. Spahr came today and started sanding on the east side of the house.
May 19, 1992: East side all sanded today."\\

Not sure of the spelling of the painter's name but I know Grandma and Grandpa were very pleased with her work. There are photos somewhere of her up on scaffolding. The front of the house, I think, but am not sure.

Looks like the one column in this picture needed some paint, too. Anyone know what happened to the sign on the house there? I am guessing it said "The Iversens". I like this photo -- Dale and I are sharing a giggle. Mom, uncharacteristically, looks a little impatient. Her fist is even balling up a bit. Subconsciously, I'm sure.

I don't remember the sign on the house but agree that it probably said "The Iversens". I am glad the the columns have been kept and are at Tom's house. We can thank Merilyn for that. Love the picture also.
