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.

An illustrated letter

March 5, 1932 - Clear and cold today. Mailed a letter to Jane and Mom today. Finished pasting pictures in my album. Wrote an illustrated letter to Aunt Mildred this afternoon. Played Rook and tried playing "Five-Hundred".
March 6, 1932 - Cold and windy today. All except Mr. Walker went to Norfolk this afternoon to see Mrs. Ed Scheurick and the new baby. Had a flat tire on the way home. Played "Rook" and "500" this evening.
March 7, 1932 - Cold and windy today. Fire started this morning. Got the play books, question books and a letter from Mayme today. Wrote a letter to Helen Carr tonite.

As far as I can tell, an illustrated letter is just what it seems it should be -- a letter with drawings or other decorations to illustrate its content. I would love to have seen what Grandma came up with. First, horseback riding (something Nancy commented she never knew Grandma ever did), and now art. Quite the multi-faceted young woman.

Yeah, Mom always said she couldn't draw a stick man.
