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.

Horn tooting
"May 27, 1995: Nancy came in morning. We went to greenhouse in Wakefield for plants in p.m. About 5:00 p.m. we had heavy rain with some hail. To alumni banquet in evening. The class of 1975 honored me -- paid for my dinner and gave me a corsage. After Greg L. introduced the class, Brian W. said some nice things about me -- I got a standing ovation.
May 28, 1995: From Friday evening until this morning we had over 5 inches of rain -- the rain gauge ran over. To Dorothy Jo's in p.m. to visit Ronnie, Sheryl and Kristine, also Marjorie C. Ronnie and Marjorie had come for class reunions in Laurel."
I do not think I am mistaken in saying this is one of the very few times I remember (I guess remembering is the key word here) Grandma tooting her own horn. But it seems this was a well-deserved occasion to do just that.
I am glad May is almost over as I keep typing Mary instead of May and having to go back and correct. I may have missed a few, but I don't want to know about it.
Semi-appropriate to what Grandma wrote about, here's a photo of Ronnie in or out of the basket, and Lloyd and Mom in the box
