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.

In the schoolhouse?
January 26, 1932 - It was snowing this morning, but quit before noon. Tonite we went sleigh-riding. Mildred, Harry, Willard, Charlotte, Marie, Bob, Hazel, Gilbert, Raymond and Lloyd Johnson. Bob and Lloyd went to town and got weiners, bread and apples. We had a weiner roast in the schoolhouse. Bud and Mike weren't feeling good and stayed home.
January 27, 1932 - Mike, Mildred and Mrs. Walker went to choir practice tonite. I wrote letters to Mother, Mayme, Florence F., Florence S. and Jane. Frieda Bossard called up tonite and said she wasn't taking her school back next year.
January 28, 1932 - We're supposed to have more snow tonite and it acts as if we'll get it. Evie came home today. I ordered the Fullerton records tonite.
I guess it was okay or Grandma: 1) wouldn't have done it, and 2) wouldn't have written about it, but I am surprised that they were in the schoolhouse during non-school hours. Perhaps they weren't very uptight about that back in 1932.
I find it sweet that Grandma wrote letters to Grandma Anna when she saw her pretty much every weekend.
The painting here isn't showing a winter scene, but I thought it was rather cheery.

What are the Fullerton records?
ReplyDeleteI wondered about that, too. I was hoping Mom might know.
ReplyDeleteSorry - I don't know what the Fullerton records would be.
