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.

Laser, schmaser
"December 6, 1994: Busy Bees Christmas party at Helen's. Started to snow as we were eating dinner. As soon as meeting and gift exchange and dessert over, all left. I stayed and Helen and I played Scrabble until 6:00 p.m. John took me home. Snowed all afternoon and evening.
December 7, 1994: Clear today. Had between five and six inches of snow. Cold, but not much wind.
December 9, 1994: Irene D. took me to Yankton to Dr. Sprik. A beautiful morning -- frost on trees and everything. I'm to go to Sioux City Monday to Dr. Wadzinski -- maybe laser."
I had to read Grandma's last word a couple of times to get it right. It looked to me that she wrote "maybe loser." I knew it was wrong, but this being a Monday morning, I wasn't quick on the uptake. I was probably too distracted by thinking about Grandma even using the word 'loser'.
I found a photo of snow, plus frost. Bonus.
