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.

Wedding
"May 28, 1994: Howard, Dorothy Jo, I, Greta and Lester to Valparaiso for Jayson's wedding. Lester drove the Lincoln. Nancy came to Winside after the dance.
May 29, 1994: In p.m. Greta and Nancy and I put flowers out at the cemetery. Then they planted my flowers.
May 30, 1994: We ate at the Legion Hall. Nancy did odd jobs for me."
I remember Jayson and Lora's wedding very well. Mitch was three and was supposed to be a ring bearer with Dane and Kyleah was the flower girl. It was touch-and-go as to whether Mitch would walk down the aisle like he was supposed to. I think one of the bridesmaids grabbed him and cheered him up and on. He did great and looked adorable in his tux. For the photos he had this non-tooth smile/grin going for every single photo. It was a hoot. Of course, I don't have a photo ready to use. And after working outside most of the afternoon and now realizing I am an old, out-of-shape woman, I am not going to go look for a photo now. Darn back is killing me.
Instead, here is a photo of Uncle Ray and Aunt Aileen and Grandma Anna and some Brogrens at a wedding. Close enough.

I think it was Jerilyn's wedding (Uncle Ray's daughter.) The Brogrens are Martha Maas and Edwin Brogren. At least I am pretty sure that is Edwin.
