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.

Chillin' and then not

"August 7, 1992: In the last two days we've had a good 1 1/2 inches of rain. Still using two blankets to cover with at night.
August 9, 1992: Greta, Dorothy, Helen and I went to Stanton church for joint services. Then to Norfolk and took Irene to eat at the Village Inn. Hot today -- no rain for 2 days!!
August 11, 1992: Rain and wind last night. Put the border on Jayson's quilt top."

I wonder what temperature Grandma considered hot given the days and days of cool. As my one science teacher taught me, temperatures are constant but "hot" and "cold" changes with a person's perspective. I can't remember his name. He was very funny and wore cool shoes.

Here's a cool photo I found. I recognize Aunt Margaret, Aunt Myrtle, Little Grandma, and Aunt Clara. The woman on the right with the purse on her lap and the one standing with her head turned I am unsure of. The one standing could be Mom but I wouldn't be the farm on it. Maybe half the farm. I really like Aunt Clara's smile.

The lady with the purse in her lap is Aunt Kate - Little Grandma's sister and Dora's mother. The other one isn't me - but I don't know who it is.
