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.

Eagle Scout
"October 30, 1994: Helen, Dorothy Jo, Greta, Howard and I went to Wahoo. Left at 8:30. We had dinner at Bill's and then to church by 2:00 for the Eagle Court of Honor for Jayme. After the program a reception in the basement and then to Bill's to visit -- Dale's, Tom, Merilyn, Nancy, Rick and Mitch were there. Mary wasn't feeling too good. Jayson and Lora there, too.
October 31, 1994: Lois K., Arlene R., Lila and I finished quilting Greta's quilt in p.m. Nice evening. Had about 20 - 25 tricksters."
I remember missing this particular event, and I know now probably why I did -- morning sickness which sometimes lasted more than just the morning. Little Anna was on the way. I am not sure if we knew that at the time but I know I was sometimes sick in the early going.
It would be appropriate here to have a photo of Jayme as an Eagle Scout, or perhaps Anna as a little baby, but since I have neither of those ready to go (and our scanner conked out), here's a hybrid-ish photo of Jayme as a baby. Interestingly, it looks like he's holding a red Solo cup. Hmmmmm. Must have been quite the Christmas party.
