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.

More baseball
"July 15, 1994: Greta and I went to Lincoln after her work day. I stayed with Nancy.
July 16, 1994: Nancy took me shopping. Greta and Dale's went to Kansas City to a ball game -- Greta's Christmas present from Dale's.
July 17, 1994: Nancy took me to a Sears store in p.m. Mary and family came over in p.m. Got back to Winside after 10:00."
I remember going to Kansas City for a Royals game when I was in junior high. I think a pretty large bunch of us went down. I also think that was the trip when we got lost in detours but Mom pulled us out of our apparent going-around-in-circle pattern. I do know the Royals played the Yankees; I have been to two major league games, that one and one in New York and so have seen the Yankees both times. At the New York game I won some prizes from Canon (it was Canon Camera Day) because of the serial number on the camera I had borrowed from Aunt Irene. I think I still have some of my treasures -- the Canon visor and camera strap at least. That was when I was in Syracuse for legal assistant training. Kim and I went down to a game with tickets I won from WPIX. Missed a Don Mattingly home run because I was collecting my goodies and getting my photo taken.
But back to 1994. I imagine a fun time was had by Mom and the Bowder clan. And it seems Grandma had a productive visit (shopping) and an enjoyable visit (got to see me). So, to use an over-used phrase -- it was all good.
This photo wasn't from a trip to Kansas City, but I am about the same age as the trip we made when I was in junior high. The socks and hat are great, I think. I put that hat on the lamb I showed at the Wayne County Fair when I was an honorary Benshoof daughter. Not during the showing, of course, but Martian was stylin' when he was wearing it.
