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.

I know the feeling
June 26, 2002: Felt better today. Went to Book Club in evening and then to Dolores' and played Cribbage.
June 27, 2002: Myrtle called in a.m. Baked a loaf of bread and a pan of sticky rolls. Ray and Aileen here in p.m. They came to eastern Nebraska for Jerilyn's wedding. Tom here for supper -- chipped beef on toast. He took care of the laundry and washed dishes while I showered. We each won a game of Rummikub.
June 28, 2002: Just a routine day. Tried to sort through a box of "stuff."
Grandma was much better at getting her boxes of "stuff" sorted out than I am, I am pretty sure. I find it daunting unless I can have every box possible in front of me and room to make piles of this and that and everything. Otherwise, I end up with a befuddled brain and boxes of "rearranged stuff". But, I persevere.
And speaking of persevering, I am happy to report that even given our late garden start this year, I spy amongst lots of blossoms, one zucchini almost ready to pick and three or four precocious cucumbers. As Grandma might say, "Happy day!"
Couldn't resist posting a photo of the kind of garden I aspire to having. Well, maybe not quite as big but at least as well-tended and organized. I also aspire to have the intestinal fortitude to thin as needed for proper radish and carrot growth.
