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.

Cookies galore!

"December 18, 1992: Mailed last of Christmas cards today.
December 19, 1992: Started on Christmas cookies -- 3 days for the baked ones -- over 970 cookies. Snow still on ground from a week ago.
December 24, 1992: Beautiful weather. Helen, John, Greta, Lester, Dorothy Jo, Mary, Rick and Mitch here in evening for soup supper and gift exchange."

That's a LOT of cookies! I thought, well, I'll find out how many dozen that is and then it won't sound like so many. Wrong. 970 cookies is over 80 dozen. That sounds like more to me, actually, than the number of cookies themselves. I know I probably won't ever make that many in three days. Well, not until I retire at least.

Here's a snowman we made in 1997. He is still my absolute favorite snowman.
