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.

Picking beans
"July 14, 1992: Greta picked two pails of green beans.
July 15, 1992: TOPS. Greta picked another pail of beans.
July 16, 1992: I helped Greta can beans tonight -- 11 pints.
July 17, 1992: Greta canned 11 more pints in morning. She and Lester met Raymond at Omaha airport about 9:00 p.m."
Grandma reported that I picked peas awhile back. I think I would rather do that than pick beans. Beans blend in even more than peas do. They pretend to be thick stalks and hide from the picker.
The photo is a tad too late to be timely, and I am certain this is not the same screen painting frenzy that was in previous posts. But it shows what went on. Those might be some of my mudpie dishes at the foot of the tree, but I'm not sure. It also looks suspicuously like painting supplies. For some reason, though, my mind went back to the fabulous time I had making mudpies.
