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.

Potatoes coming up

"May 7, 1995: To church -- Confirmation and the church was full. In p.m. Greta took me to Memphis Prince's 80th birthday open house in Lee & Rosie's party room.
May 8, 1995: Howard found three potatoes coming up. Beverly N. took me to Legion Auxiliary meeting.
May 10, 1995: Ladies Aid Pentecost breakfast.

It seems somewhat fitting, for me anyway, that church and potatoes are the main themes of this particular post. Once upon a time, I think I could have started my own religion around potatoes. Somewhat unfortunately, I have always loved them -- fried, baked, mashed, you name it. But, I managed to move on and potatoes no longer take the front and center place they used to. Growing up isn't all it's cracked up to be sometimes.

Here's a photo of Grussfather and Tanta Emma. Was she always sassy like that? Love the photo and what I see as a fun expression on her face.

I really don't remember Tanta Emma very well. I remember her has thinner - maybe she was ill later in her life. But you can kind of see where Sophie got some of her sass and exuberance.
