If My Grandma Had A Blog

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.

Happy 20th birthday!

February 1, 1932 - The schoolhouse was quite cold this morning. The fire was started, too! Tonite we all went over to Nurnberg's for Charlotte's birthday. The drifts are steep between here and there. Slept with the girls tonite.
February 2, 1932 - The girls moved my bed into their room today. Now it'll be warmer getting up in the morning. Got a card from Jane and letters from Mom, Loretta, and Mildred Andersen. Early to bed tonite.
February 3, 1932 - Got a letter from Mayme. Mom called up after school and wished me a happy birthday. Ray and Hans went to Wausau in Ray's bug. Walker's invited some kids over tonite for my birthday. We played Rook. Marie, Bob, and Charlotte Nurnberg; Dorothy and Gilbert Jochens, Fritz, Harry, and Willard. Dorothy stayed all nite.

It sounds like Grandma had a nice time on her birthday. Very nice of the Walkers to host a party.

I dont' know when or where the photo was taken, but I rather like it. Grandma has her attitude on it looks like!

I don't remember ever seeing this picture before but I like it. She looks quite sassy. Good for her.

I don't think I ever saw this picture before either. It is a neat picture. Most pictures she seemed to be pretty sober.
