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.

Surely, she's not anti-social
"December 24, 2001: Christmas Eve. Nancy, Tom, Merilyn and Linda (a special friend of Merilyn's) here for chili supper and gift exchange. Played Rummikub (Linda and Merilyn played Rummy.)
December 25, 2001: Nancy and I to Tom and Merilyn's for dinner. Linda was there, too. She played Solitaire on the computer while the rest played Rummikub.
December 26, 2001: Tired all day -- just sat around and watched TV."
I don't remember Linda but from the sparse reporting, it appears she didn't want to play well with others. I'm kidding -- if she was a friend of Merilyn's, I'm sure she was good people. Maybe Rummikub was a bit intimidating given the world class status of the other players.
I miss church and chili on Christmas Eve. May have to get that tradition up and running with some regularity again.
For not particular reason, here's a goofy picture. Everyone seems to be having a top-drawer kind of time. Except maybe Bill there on the television. He looks fairly serious. Omigosh, there's the fish lamp! I think.
