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.

Burgers?

"November 8, 1994: Finished binding Greta's quilt.
November 9, 1994: WELCA meeting.
November 11, 1994: Pinochle Club at Leona's. Got low prize again.
November 12, 1994: Tom and Nancy came about 2:30. We went to Norfolk -- met Merilyn there -- did shopping."

I haven't researched yet to see if low prize in Pinochle is good or bad. I am going to guess bad as Grandma would more likely be self-deprecating than to brag about her prowess at cards. But then, she didn't know this information would be on the web for all the world (cough, cough) to see so she was free to brag if she wished.

Here's that adorable photo of Bill and Grandma so much enjoying whichever family gathering this was. I think some emergency card playing was called for to lighten the mood. I wonder what is on the platter behind them. It looks for all the world to me like open-faced cheeseburgers, but I bet that isn't right. Maybe cookies. But why the bowl of butter next to them? I'm confused.

You are right, low prize was not good. As for the food behind them it sure does look like hamburgers or some kind of sandwich. I don't think that is butter but I haven't a clue as to what it might be. All I can tell you for sure is that it was at my house. Can't remember what I served that day.
