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.

Vacation in Lincoln over
"April 8, 1995: I did up all the washing. Nancy came for me -- was after 6:30.
April 9, 1995: Palm Sunday. Couldn't get my shoes on this morning -- so wore my house slippers to Bill's. Tom rode with Nancy and me. Had our family Easter dinner today. Afterward a family baby shower for Alicia. Lora's folks were there. At 4:30 left for home -- raining most of the way and from Wayne on home it was freezing on the sideview mirrors and bug guard. Home by 6:45.
April 10, 1995: Sleet and rain all day.
April 11, 1995: No power for several hours in p.m."
I have been calling Grandma's trip to Lincoln a vacation, but with all the chores and running around doing this and that, it wasn't overly restful I don't believe. I do believe, however, that she had a good time. Time spent with family was always good as far as Grandma was concerned.
Like a lot of events, I am not recalling this baby shower but I am guessing I was there. Seems I should have been keeping a journal of my own all these years. I am doing it now, but . . .
Speaking of family, here is Grandma Anna at a Kahler reunion. I absolutely love this photo. I can't explain why but I do. I do think Grandma Anna is looking very nice in that dress.
