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.

July birthdays
"July 26, 1992: Greta, Raymond, Howard and I left Winside at 6:40. Arrived at Dale's at 9:15. Nancy came after Raymond, Howard and me -- went to Tom's and had dinner there. Then to Dale's for the p.m. Mary, Rick, Mitch, Bill, Jenny, Jayme, Jayson, Lora were there. Celebrated birthdays of Jayme, Tom, Nancy and Dale and Bill and Jenny's wedding anniversary. Had a wonderful time. Dale had finished a fence around the yard for the children -- a wonderful job. Howard put up new rain gauge that John gave him.
July 27, 1992: Warm and sunny."
I remember this day and it was a wonderful time and a wonderful fence. At some point we quit getting together for the July birthdays, not sure when.
Photo is obviously from another time, but some of the same characters. Especially Bill, he's a real character.
