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.

Noodles!
"February 19, 2002: Mary took me for my weekly shampoo and set.
February 20, 2002: Helen's birthday is tomorrow but I called her today. Mary came at noon for lunch. I took my shower. Went to Book Club this evening. Brought back book "Rivers of the Heart" by George deBord.
February 21, 2002: Worked on sorting cards, clippings, etc. Made noodles for chicken soup. Tom came in late afternoon. We played Rummikub. He took my laundry home with him. He didn't come last night because he and Merilyn went to a special ball game. Myrtle called after supper. I forgot it was my turn to call -- I was so concerned about getting the noodles made!!! I'll call her two Thursdays in a row now."
I love how I find out things Grandma did (or didn't do in this case) that remind me of me. I can certainly see myself forgetting to do something because I was wrapped up in doing something else. In fact, I most likely do that several times a week.
Speaking of Aunt Myrtle, here's a replay of our wonderful photo together from back in my less inhibited days.
