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.

Go Big Red!
"January 1, 1995: We're both on the mend. Didn't go to church. Jean called today. They will go to Florida next Sunday. The Cornhuskers defeated Miami -- they are National Champions. Game was exciting.
January 2, 1995: Greta came and put things away for me -- like Christmas boxes, etc. She took me to her place and cut the strips for my 9-patch sampler quilt and for a baby quilt for Lora.
January 3, 1995: Tom came in p.m. for wood. We played a few games of Pitch. Cold - cold - cold but no strong wind."
Sweet! I probably watched the football game but cannot recall anything about it. I really reading and being reminded, however, that we beat Miami. I do remember watching the one game (Orange Bowl?) when we could have tied with a point-after kick, but went for two and didn't make it and lost. I watched that in Wahoo with Dale and Lynn when they lived up there.
Speaking of Dale, here we are with a homemade tackling dummy.
