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.

All settled
April 22, 1931 - Came back to Wayne this morning. Don Cunningham spoke to us in chapel this morning. Aunt Mildred went down to Dennis' tonite to wash woodwork. I went to Aunt Mary's and asked her about staying there. She said it was all right. I took some cutwork lessons from Mrs. Smith this afternoon.
April 23, 1931 - Mrs. Smith went to Carroll this afternoon. Mrs. Yaryan and Wayne Evans came after her. Mrs. Alvin Anderson left her little baby boy with Aunt Mildred while she did some shopping. I got to see the twins. They're about 2 1/2 years old and are the most adorable little girls. The family went to a card party tonite.
April 24, 1931 - It seems funny without Mrs. Smith here. The house looks funny, curtains and shades are down. Aunt Mildred took looney over to Martichang's this afternoon. I went with Aunt Mildred to wax floors in the new home this evening.
I swear it says "looney", lower case, so likely not a nickname for someone. I thought maybe it was supposed to say 'honey', but I looked and looked and I still get looney. Maybe it's a subliminal remark about myself.
Aunt Mary? So Mrs. Smith was a boarder like Grandma and had to leave since Uncle Chris and Aunt Mildred moved? I am learning that I don't know much about Grandma's college days, that's for sure. Nice to know her living arrangements were settled rather quickly.
I do not recall when I last featured Bumps in a photo, but here he is in his little dog, one foot in the air glory.
