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.

Playing ball, and the big ball in the sky
August 30, 1932 - Played ball this noon. This evening the girls and I looked through the catalogues and did some shopping. We each "bought" a new hat and dress.
August 31, 1932 - Cloudy about all day. Minnie wasn't at school, George said she was sick. Played ball today. This afternoon we looked at the eclipse of the sun. It was only a partial eclipse here. In the New England states they had a total eclipse.
September 1, 1932 - Played ball at noon and recess. I fixed my "dress" for tonite before supper. Dorothy J. went along with us to the party. Mike, Mote, Della Meierhenry, and Clarance Schmitt won the prizes. It was a tie between the two girls and the two boys. Roland Stahl and Gustav Perske birthday.
Lots of ball games going on at the start of school. I have assumed Grandma meant baseball or softball, but I suppose that isn't necessarily the case.
I hope they looked at that eclipse safely.
