If My Grandma Had A Blog

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.

A life saver!

June 21, 1391 - It rained this morning but cleared up about 9:30. Ed, Al, Lennis, Dallas and Mr. and Mrs. Schellenberg went to Wausau. R.K., E.B. and H.B. were here for dinner. We took pictures and played ball this afternoon. I was at home a few minutes while R.K. did chores. I was home in bed by 10 o'clock, before Baker's came home.
June 22, 1931 - I washed out some of my clothes this morning. Sewed a doll's romper for Viola. Over to Linn's tonite a few minutes with the family.
June 23, 1931 - Linn kids over awhile today. I saved three lives today (chickens, they fell in the slop pail).

HA! I love the chicken life-saving episode, mentioned so calmly like Grandma hadn't done a very great thing, says the Great Bird Fanatic (me).

If you will recall, I mentioned the opening of the Empire State Building a little while back. I recently stumbled across this mind-numbing (for me anyway) photograph from that day. Only look if you are not faint of heart. Yikes!!

I don't remember Mom ever talking about playing ball. Do you suppose it was softball or what. Having trouble seeing this in my mind. So many secrets we are learning.
