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.

One trip a success, another cancelled
"November 30, 1994: John and Helen went to Lincoln. Tonight they'll go with Tom and Merilyn by plane to Las Vegas and then drive to Laughlin. Will meet Trina, Paul, Marina and Raymond there.
December 4, 1994: Cold -- didn't go to church -- have a cough. John and Helen came home this p.m. Finished piecing the 3" square block quilt top.
December 5, 1994: Was to go to Yankton to Dr. Sprik today. Cancelled the appointment -- very cold, just 10 degrees above -- and my cough is still a problem. Will go Friday instead."
It's still Saturday, right? I didn't miss a whole weekend of posts again, did I? Unfortunately, it is Monday. Fortunately, however, my laptop should be fixed soon so that I can post from home on the weekends again. We do have another computer at the house, but when I think about posting John is in the middle of something and when he isn't, well I don't remember to go post something. Ah, well.
I had to blather on a bit about that topic as I don't have any particular thoughts on Grandma's entries. I don't like to think about 10 degree days, I do have a thought on that matter.
For no reason, here's a photo of Grandpa talking to a dog. Looks like Fuzzy to me, but I'm not sure. As a bonus, I realized there is a quilt in the photo so it ties in with this entry after all. It's not the 3" square quilt though, that's for sure.
