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.

Something else I don't remember
"January 13, 1993: Women of ELCA meeting. It was too icy and cold for me to go."
January 14, 1992: John and Helen took Howard along to Wayne so he could have his glasses adjusted. While eating lunch John had a piece of chicken lodge in his esophagus.
January 15, 1993: John went to doctor -- then to hospital and at 10:00 p.m. by ambulance to Omaha."
I feel badly that I don't recall Uncle John going to the hospital for choking on some food. I do remember when Aunt Irene was choking at La Paz. I think it was when we went out to eat after Dale and I graduated from UNL, but not sure. Bill tried to do the Heimlich manuever but was unsuccessful. Someone else in the restaurant took over and was able to dislodge the food. I think Bill said something later about how he wasn't being forceful enough because it was his little aunt he was working on.
I think I used this photo before, but it was the only one handy that had Uncle John in it. I figured he should be featured since he went to the hospital and all.

I do remember when that happened. Tom, Merilyn and I went up to Omaha to see him.
ReplyDeleteMom looks kind of crabby doesn't she? Nobody except Bill looks very happy.
