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.

Now what's this??
September 25, 1931 - It didn't rain today but it was cloudy and cold. Ray came after me after school. We went out to Ed Schellenberg's to the barn dance tonite. It was just a neighborhood affair. I went home with K.C.!!! We were with Mayme and Loyd. In all the excitement I forgot my hat at Schellenberg's. Martha came home today.
September 26, 1931 - I went down town this morning and got my raincoat. I also had Dr. McIntyre show me how to examine my pupils. Mother helped me wash out my clothes today. Ray and I went to the dance at Hoskins tonite and had a real good time.
September 27, 1931 - There was no church this morning. I studied part of the day and also slept. This evening Mother and I went to the program at the Evangelical Church in Hoskins. Ray took us but didn't go in because he didn't feel good. We stopped at the farm and I got my hat.
This K.C. character rated three exclamation points. Any guesses from anyone as to who Grandma is talking about?
Funny about the hat. That's absolutely something I would do.
John and Mom and I went out to Aces Haus, a local restaurant with German fare, tonight for my birthday. We had a very nice time and the food was 'delish'. Mom gave me a cookbook that has some yummy recipes inside, I must say. Now, just to convince John that something cooked from a recipe can be as good as his "dump" cooking.
I don't have a birthday photo scanned and ready to use, so here is one that was developed in 1963, which likely means that I had had a birthday by the time this was taken. Close enough!
