"September 22, 1992: Greta, Nancy and I went to Dale's place of work. He gave us a real tour of the place. Also saw where Mary had worked and Nancy's working place. Some more shopping. Left Lincoln about 3:00. Stopped in Wahoo for parsley, apples and carrots from Jenny and at the Warehouse for a few items. Home by 6:00. Howard had painted back steps.
September 23, 1992: Put three apple pies and one apple crisp in freezer -- also sacks of parsley. In evening to a meeting in auditorium about new garbage collection."
Geesh! Grandma gets back from a four-day whirlwind trip of southeastern Nebraska and the first day home she put together three pies plus more and then goes to a meeting in the evening? Nicely done.
I wonder what Grandpa did all those days by himself, besides painting the steps. It is weird to me to think of him rattling around the house all alone. I don't think he minded, it is just an odd thought for me. Maybe he stayed outside a lot, taking the outsides off of black walnuts for instance. Pretty sure he is doing that in the photo as opposed to just happening to be standing there. The piles of husks and the blackened gloves give it away.
