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.

More quilting

"November 16, 1994: Helen and I went with Ruby R. to Busy Bees at Irene F.'s in Carroll. Working this week on a quilt made of 3" squares.
November 19, 1994: A skiff of snow this morning.
November 20, 1994: To church with Greta. Rainy all day -- heavier rain in the evening."

All was right with the world in 1994 if Grandma was back to making and mentioning quilts. Whew.

I didn't know a skiff was anything other than a type of boat, but I should have known Grandma would be on top of words and their various meanings. (I did look it up to be sure, though....)

Here, for no particular reason is a photo of Grandma Anna, Mom and Bill. I like it. Bill may have been thinking of grabbing that bow on Mom's head. He's looking pretty good for a baby that was born really, really teeny.

This picture was taken out on the farm where we lived. I don't know if Grandma was still doing it then, but there were times she walked out there from town. If you counted the lane that had to be 5 miles or so.
