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.

Outings and aboutings

"December 11, 1994: To Lois and Gaylord's for dinner. John's van wouldn't start so we had to use the Pontiac. Just John, Helen, Howard and I were there. Mark and Jeff, too. Tom came late evening.

December 12, 1994: Tom and I left at 7:00 for Sioux City. Got to doctor's office before 9:00. After examination and pictures of eyeball taken we ate at a Wendy's place. Then Tom drove to the casino at Sloane. Stayed about an hour -- won nothing -- back to doctor's office and then home.
December 14, 1994: Went to WELCA Christmas dinner and program. Snowed during meeting."

Grandma got to go to the casino and Grandpa didn't? Oh, the humanity. I wonder if it was a spur-of-the-moment decision to go or if maybe they planned it and Grandpa just didn't feel like going out. I know if I would have been there, I would have won nothing, also.

Here's a photo of Tom, thinking of something, I'm sure. Probably not an outing to Sloane.

Isn't Tom precious in this photo? There aren't too many pictures of him at this age smiling.
