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.

Questions a-plenty
August 24, 1932 - Aunt Mary, Uncle Harry and Ralph were here for dinner. Menkeys left this p.m. Ray painted his car this morning. I took charge of the R.N.A. Juveniles in Mom's place at Mrs. McIntyre's. Mom went to Wayne tonite to Rieses's. Tomorrow they're going to Kennard to see Uncle Nels who is quite sick.
August 25, 1932 - I worked on my school work all day. Ray traced some patterns for me while I copied some songs for him. Grussmother is sick and was in bed all day. Got a card from Mayme, and she said Lloyd Behmer's charivari dance is tomorrow nite.
August 26, 1932 - Ray had to walk out to Farran's this morning to help put up hay. Mom came home about 8 o'clock. Uncle Nels was up and around. He said, "I fooled them. They thought I was going to die, but I didn't." Ray and I went to the dance tonite and we had a good time. Nancy Andersen's birthday.
Still needing to know who the Menkeys are, if anyone knows. And who are Mary, Harry and Ralph . . . Kahlers? I have a decent map going re the family tree, but I am still missing some information.
I didn't know one could just up and paint their car one morning.
What kind of songs was Grandma copying for Uncle Ray? And why? Did he play piano or anything like that?
