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.

What now?

"July 22 and 23, 1995: Raymond and Marina in Lincoln.
August 3, 1995: Raymond and Marina left for California. In p.m., Howard and Marvin A. came to visit.
August 5, 1995: Greta got some diabetic things for Howard.
Helen and John visited Raymond Jones during the middle of August.
August 20, 1995: Went to Lincoln for Anna's baptism.
August 27, 1995: Katie B. and Louise H. visited here in p.m.
March 29, 1998: Marina died.
April 3, 1998: Marina's funeral."

Yup, that's correct -- Grandma went from August 1995 to March 1998 in this particular journal. I have to remember to grab something new for my next post. I do not immediately recall a 1998 or 1999 journal, so we may very well take an even greater leap with the next journal.

Had to post a photo of the lovely Marina. She and Uncle Raymond always seemed so very happy and infatuated with one another. It was fun to be around them.

You are right about Uncle Raymond and Aunt Marina. He really seemed lost after she died.
Plus he had to deal with the change in attitude of her family. They turned out to be real stinkers. They did a complete 180 in their attitude toward him. Really sad.

Yes, it surely was and I don't think I ended up hearing the half of it. I guess we should be thankful they were good to him while Aunt Marina was alive and weren't stinkers the whole time.
