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 dancing -- but chapel, too
January 13, 1931 - Emmett House came today. Helen, Aunt Mildred, Emmett and I went to the dance at Kay's tonite. I didn't have a very good time.
January 14, 1931 - Emmett and Aunt Mildred went to chapel this morning. Emmett, Charles Hepflinger and Neal Grubb were down here tonite and played cards. They tore Helen and my room up something terrible, hunting Emmett's wraps!
January 15, 1931 - I didn't go to Social Dancing tonite. Emmett, Helen and Aunt Mildred went.
I learned from this and other entries that chapel was on Wednesdays since Grandma made notes as to the days of the week. Helen must have been her college roommate. Shame on those boys for tearing up the room! Was Aunt Mildred also in college or was chapel not a college activity? Since it is in the morning during the week, it somewhat lends itself to a college thing, but I know little of 1931.
I wonder if the photo is of the oft-mentioned Ralph. I still would like to know why they are standing on a concrete block and a pile of dirt.
