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.

Late??
November 18, 1931 - We got up later than usual this morning and it was after eight before I got to school. I played ball this noon and during second recess. Mr. Walker's mother was here and stayed all night. I worked late correcting papers this evening.
November 19, 1931 - I played ball with the kids this morning. It started raining about noon. I corrected papers and made out report cards this evening.
November 20, 1931 - It's rained practically all day today. Ray came after me about 5:30. We went over to Miller's this evening. Mrs. Schmoll died Wednesday and is being buried in Iowa. Mrs. Miller didn't want the house to be empty at nights while they were gone, so Mother is staying there.
Late getting to school due to oversleeping. I would have teased Grandma had a known about this. Geesh, barely into her first teaching job and she's sleeping in. Wow!
Can you believe it? Of all the photos I have scanned and ready to go, there is not one of someone sleeping? Well, other than a teeny baby and that isn't what I was after. I know this family has taken photos of adults laying around sleeping, but not one is scanned and ready to go. So, instead, here's another of Grandma and Uncle Ray being cute little kids.
