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.

A birthday and then a birthday again
"February 7, 1993: Bill, Jenny, Jayme and Greta here for goose dinner for my birthday. Had a pleasant afternoon playing cards. Past week has been mild -- snow has melted so ground isn't all white as it's been since December 13.
February 10, 1993: No Ladies Aid -- too cold.
February 14, 1993: Tom, Merilyn, John and Helen here for the last of my birthday dinners. Played cards in p.m. Tom and Merilyn stayed at Helen's Sunday night. Monday they went to Pierce and joined Dale Jaegers and Ernie Jaegers and went to Fort Randall to the casino."
Quite the year for Grandma's birthday. And it wasn't a "big" number, like a multiple of 10 or even a five. Works for me. Way to go Grandma!
At first when I was reading Grandma's handwriting, I saw the goose dinner and then when I was "pleasant", at first I thought it said "pheasant". I thought it was a real wild game day.
And here's a photo, for no particular reason, of Jayson and Jayme and some kitties.
