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 different feller
December 3, 1931 - Evelyn came up to the schoolhouse today and played the piano for the kids so they could practice their Xmas songs. The kids put up the stage and we made posters. We practiced this evening on our play.
December 4, 1931 - The posters were finished today. I expected Ray to come after me early but he didn't. Ray and Ola came after me. I went to Hoskins and found Mayme. She gave me some of her entertainment books. She coaxed me to go to the club dance. I changed my clothes up at Bernice May's. Ray went home and came back. I had every dance. I went home with Alex Bruse.
December 5, 1931 - Mother started lining my coat today. We looked at the proofs and decided upon the picture we were going to have finished. We went to bed quite early.
Alex Bruse is a new one for me. Perhaps some Winsiders know who he was.
Every dance!? Very nice. No wonder Grandma went to bed early the next night.
I am guessing Evelyn was a bit older than the girl in the photograph.

Alex Bruse was from Hoskins. Here we get into the small world category. His wife worked at Andrews Van Lines. She was the bookkeeper. Knew her well.
