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.

The beginning of a lifetime hobby
November 12, 1931 - Mr. Jonson took us to school this morning. Walkers had a quilting party today. This evening Hazel and her mother, Mrs. Braun, Mrs. Maas, and Mrs. Fred Jochens were here quilting.
November 13, 1931 - I tried my hand at quilting tonite and it went pretty good. Ray came after me and he stayed awhile. We had a lot of fun trying to quilt and talk at the same time.
November 14, 1931 - I went down town this morning a little while. Mother and I went down this evening. I got a library book to read at school. We also went to the show. During the show, Ray was hunting for me. He wanted to go to Hoskins. He went without me but didn't have a good time, there weren't very many there.
I really like the comment about having fun trying to quilt and talk at the same time. I would have loved to have seen a 19-year-old Grandma doing that.
