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.

Lucky Lindy

July 6, 1931 - I felt pretty tired today. Took a nap this afternoon and went to bed early.
July 7, 1931 - We picked and canned cherries today. Tonite to Ralph Ruschman's birthday party with R.K. Loretta was there. It is the first time I have seen her or talked to her since school was out.
July 8, 1931 - We picked and canned more cherries today. R.K. came up tonite and we went to Marie and Clifford's for their wedding anniversary. We played "pig" and "Lindy".

I looked for, but did not find, any information on a game called "Lindy". I did, however, discover there is an unincorporated village in Nebraska within the Santee Sioux Reservation with that name. The current population is 13. It has a restaurant and bar, a church, and a fire hall. As you might expect, the town was named after Charles Lindbergh.

I remember Mom saying she really didn't like picking and canning cherries.
