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.

Grandma's birthday
"February 6, 1994: Greta, Lester, Mary, Rick, Mitch, Gaylord, Lois, Mark, Nancy, John, Helen, Dale, Dane, Kyleah, Myrtle here for dinner. Bob, Mary Lynne and Dorothy Jo here in p.m. My birthday dinner.
February 8, 1994: -20 degrees at night.
February 9, 1994: Missed WELCA -- too cold and icy for me."
It's too cold and icy for me right now just thinking about -20 degrees. I know it can happen every winter, but geesh!
The last sentence of the February 6 is written in a different ink. Interesting that Grandma felt a need to write in her own journal an explanation for a family get-together. Maybe she knew someone would be reading her stuff some day.
Speaking of cold, here's this same winter photo I've used before. Just a reminder of how much fun snow can be. I also need a reminder to get more photos scanned . . .
