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.

Tilling and quilting

"April 23, 1995: Greta took me to Werner Mann's 50th anniversary celebration at the auditorium.
April 24, 1995: Arlene R. came with a quilt to be bound. We basted around the outside of it.
April 27, 1995: John took Howard to Norfolk and Howard bought a new Huskee tiller. He had been using Lila H.'s since she moved to town. Now that Jim is out of the service, he needs it. $529.00 + $31.74 tax = $560.74.

Well, the quilt is one of Arlene's but the date on the back says 1993, so I'm close but with no cigar. It is a lovely quilt, me thinks.

I still like how Grandma recorded the cost of things Grandpa bought or needed, but not so much her quilting supplies. There were doubtful good, solid reasons for that but I still like to smile about it.

Well, I feel bad I got the tiller -- on the other hand Howard deserved a new one.
