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.

Zucchini!!

"August 21, 1992: Pinochle club at Marie H.'s. Arlene R. took me to club. I won high prize.
August 22, 1992: Baked a zucchini cake, two batches of zucchini bread, one batch banana bread. Also fixed more tomatoes for Greta. Merle Knicker called, will be here Wednesday or Thursday.
August 23, 1992: Hot today. Didn't go to church -- real tired today.
August 24, 1992: Warm."

Gotta love zucchini. It can be used for sweet things like cakes and cookies but also in meat and veggie dishes. I read that dehydrated zucchini was real tasty. I dehydrated a big bunch only to find I detested dehydrated zucchini. Lesson learned. Planning on a garden next year -- finally.

I don't think Dane and Grandpa ended up picking any zucchini, but they were outside and that's close enough for me to pick this photo for today.

Who was having more fun here? Oh how Daddy loved to give the little kids a ride on the mower. Love the picture.
