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.

Old and feeble?!
February 28, 1932 - Started a letter to Mayme this morning. Mike and I went horseback riding. Went up to the other place and stopped at Charlie Jochens' awhile. We had ice cream tonite. Played five-handed Rook tonite.
February 29, 1932 - I feel old and feeble today. The kids played ball today but I didn't feel like playing. Went over to Nurnberg's tonite for Marie's "4th" birthday although she's 16. It was a quarter to two when we got home. They had more company besides us kids. I had a fairly good time. Could have been better.
March 1, 1932 - Raining today as if it were in April. Stopped about noon. None of the Nurnbergs were in school today. Dismissed school at 3:30. Got a "note" from Ray tonite and with it a letter from Aunt Emma. To bed early. (Got the exam questions today.)
That must have been some serious horseback riding for a 20-year-old Marian to feel old and feeble!!
I wonder why the word note is in quotations. And what was in Aunt Emma's letter? Inquiring minds want to know.
And Grandma was maybe a bit feeble at the time the photo was taken, but that is only because she was a little baby. She had pretty eyes!

I had no idea that Mom EVER rode a horse. The things we are learning are quite interesting. They sure played a lot of games that I have never heard of before.
