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 Settlers?
July 25, 1932 - I'm all tired out. Slept all morning. Annie and the kids came in this afternoon. Mom cut out a dress for Annie.
July 26, 1932 - We washed and we had a whopper of a washing. Washed and finger-waved my hair this afternoon. Went to bed early.
July 27, 1932 - Mom and I did the ironing this morning. Called up Jane and asked her to come tonite and then to Norfolk to the R.N.A. picnic tomorrow. Her Grandad is sick and she couldn't come. I went down town tonite. Tried to rain, and sent quite a few people home.
The last post mentioned going down town to watch the people, and now we have a comment about the rain sending quite a few people home. I wonder if Old Settler's was going on. Grandma doesn't mention it directly, here or later, but that is my guess.
I think I have written previously about how I felt so wonderfully special when Old Settler's would be coming up and Grandpa would buy me what I considered an exorbitant amount of tickets. It seems I always had lots more tickets than my friends. The photo of me is from my Old-Settler's-enjoying days.
