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.

That's why it snowed!

"December 27, 1994: Dale and Mary's grandmother -- Effie Bowder was buried today.
December 29, 1994: I have the "galloping flu" -- didn' t eat anything all day.
December 30, 1994: Feeling better -- Howard was sick in evening -- had chills.
December 31, 1994: Snowed -- about 4 or 5 inches. Howard didn't go after the mail today."

From what I understand, it would take a lot for Grandpa not to go get the mail. He picked it up for other people to help them out, so it was kind of a big deal. So, either the snow or the sickness made it so he didn't go. I would like to think he was taking care of himself.

I am glad Grandma said something about Grandma Bowder. I always have trouble remembering when it was that she died. Now I know. I wish I had a good photo of her to post right now.

Instead, here's a photo of Grandma and Grandpa when they were most definitely not sick.
