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.

Who now?
April 28, 1931 - We had another walk in Nature Study this morning. I ate at the café this noon with Tillie. Aunt Mildred and Uncle Chris went to the Hard-Time dance tonite. Aunt Mary and Uncle Charlie went down a while, too. Studied and read awhile and then went to bed. I saw two Kentucky cardinals this morning.
April 29, 1931 - We had some vocal numbers in chapel this morning. Ate at the café with Tillie. Frances took me home as far as the court house. I went in to see Miss Sewell about schools but she didn't give me a bit of encouragement.
April 30, 1931 - Helen Hanson gave me a lift home today. I went up to the College tonite to the recital given by Miriam Bracken and Marie Carstensen. I enjoyed it a great deal.
I really, really need to sketch out a map. But, this, I have. Aunt Mary and Uncle Charlie, I discovered all by my lonesome, are Kiersten's daughter and her husband, Charles Reese or maybe Riese. They are people I do not recall Grandma talking about, but perhaps Mom and Nancy do.
I do wish Miss Sewell had been encouraging.
That's all I have, but it's something at least after my somewhat long absence. I will endeavor to do better.
The photo is Uncle Charlie and Aunt Mary with their daughter Pearl. Even though Grandma calls them uncle and aunt, by my reckoning, Mary was a first cousin of William Andersen.

I remember Aunt Mary and Uncle Charlie. Remember going to see them in Wayne. They had a number of canaries. But I didn't know she was Grandma Petersen's (Kiersten) daughter.
ReplyDeleteMiss Sewell was the County Superintendent of Schools.
I remember Mrs Porter as a Supt of Schools. We were very scared when she would come to observe.
