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.

What a nice brother!
May 13, 1932 - Oh! so hot today. There were 52 at the picnic. Ray brought the ice cream about 12:15. It was all eaten at dinner time! 5 gallons! Had races, etc. for kids this p.m. I got nice and sunburned. Went home about 5:30. Stopped out to Annie's and had supper there. Made ice cream with the ice left in the freezer.
May 14, 1932 - Ray and I went back to the schoolhouse about 10 o'clock this a.m. I had to finish my reports and then clean up the mess. It was 4 o'clock before we were headed for home. The car was loaded down with my junk. Ray and I went to bed quite early tonite. Rose Stamm's birthday.
May 15, 1932 - Picked some tulips for Hilda, Mom and Annabelle. Stopped at Ola's, gave them the tulips and got some lilacs. Stopped and visited Mom a few minutes then went up to Uncle Max's. Looked at pictures, etc. Had dinner and supper there. Stopped in at Uncle Hans' this evening. We stayed at Ola's tonite. Annie and I are doing our washing together tomorrow.
Of course, all the brothers in our family are real peaches, but I bet there are some out there in the world that would not spend six hours on a Saturday helping their sister pack up her school stuff and haul it home.
I am not sure when the photo was taken exactly, but it darn sure wasn't in 1932.

I'm pretty sure this was taken at a Brogren family reunion out west but I don't know what year it would have been.
