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.

More normal stuff here
"February 25, 2002: Had prescriptions delivered from National Pharmacy. Organized my birthday cards. Played Seven-Up in party room in evening.
February 26, 2002: Very cold and windy today. Mary took me for my weekly shampoo, etc.
February 27, 2002: Called Marjorie C. this morning for her birthday. Mary here at noon and I took my shower. Book Club tonight."
I was surprised when I learned (prior to today) that there were still pharmacies in Lincoln that made deliveries. I figured that was something that had gone by the wayside over time. I imagine there is a fee, but I do not know that for sure. Regardless, it is a very nice service that I am sure many people appreciate.
I had forgotten that for awhile there I took Grandma to her hair appointment one day and then came to lunch the next. I know eventually we got down to me picking her up from the beauty college and having lunch the same day. Grandma didn't shower those days since we visited over lunch. I think I still was there for a shower now and then, but I just don't recall how that worked. I suppose I will find out in time as I go through the journal.
I am trying to figure out which photos I may not have used at all, or used only once. I believe this is one of those. Grandma Anna's husband is in the middle. He is with, as I understand it, other members of a threshing crew. It may be Uncle Chris, his brother, there on the left.
