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.

Johanna

"August 30, 1993: Nancy came in evening.
August 31, 1993: Nancy left with Lois, Mark and Jeff for Wisconsin to visit Jean and see Mark C. in a golf tournament.
September 5, 1993: Johanna died. Went to Lincoln for Dane's birthday -- dinner at Mary's."

I don't remember that I did so much entertaining. Glad that I did. Just noticed that I am over halfway through this first notebook of Grandma's. Best be starting now to find the next in line.

I have nothing but fond memories of Johanna. If she ever spoke a harsh word to anyone, I never heard about it. This photo is from 1988, the first family reunion after Grandma and Grandpa's 50th anniversary grand get-together.

Don't you think that in the picture you had of Dorothy Jo that you got off Facebook she looks a lot like Johanna?
