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.

Done visiting
August 17, 1931 - Right after breakfast we went to Annie and Jimmie's. We had dinner there and right after dinner went back to Alvina's. Francis Nielsen came home with us. We left Andrew's at 1:20 and got home a little before six o'clock. Ralph came up this evening and Ray went to Hoskins with him and watched them play Indian baseball. I didn't go 'cause Mom said I should stay home. We talked about the happenings over the weekend when they came back from Hoskins.
August 18, 1931 - We are all pretty tired today. Grussmother baked white bread and Momma baked coffee cake. I went down town this afternoon and mailed the three films I took while we were visiting. I visited with Florence about an hour and then got a reset from Anna Boyd. To bed early tonite.
August 19, 1931 - I baked 2 apple pies, a cake and made a batch of doughnuts this morning. Mother washed out dresses, etc. I didn't go down town tonite because I didn't feel peppy enough.
I don't remember Grandma ever making doughnuts. I bet they were good.
I need to contact the distant Andersen relative to figure out some of these people again. My brain turns to mush after too much family relationship information since I don't keep up on it enough.
