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.

Am I right?

"September 15, 1993: Busy Bees ate dinner at the Black Knight in Wayne. Helen and I played Scrabble in p.m.
September 16, 1993: Merle Knicker called that they'd be here tomorrow evening or Saturday a.m.
September 17, 1993: Merle and Arnold came in evening -- visited.
September 18, 1993: I made thin pancakes for breakfast. They had dinner here and left in p.m."

I am wondering about my memory -- are Merle and Arnold the people from California, or somewhere west, that had a health food store that the Osmonds frequented? That's all I can dredge up, other than that they are relatives. And the people I am talking about brought something with carob in it. At that point in my life, I had never heard of carob.

Speaking of points west, here is the ocean, with Anna's feet in it. Wrong ocean, but who will know if I don't say so?

You are correct. Merle and Arnold are the ones with the health food store. Merle is Mom's cousin. Her mother was Aunt Nan (Nancy was named after her - but I dare you to call Nancy Aunt Nan) Aunt Nan was Grandma's sister-in-law. Aunt Nan was married to Uncle Jim Andersen, brother to William Andersen, my grandfather. Clear as mud I hope.
