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.

Laura Wiseman Lawson
October 8, 1932 - Mom came about 9:00 this a.m. We took an order for school books down to Templin's. Went down town this p.m. and got some gloves for myself. Went to the dance at Carr's tonite with Lena Neiman and came home with Ray. I had a really good time. Willie stayed the rest of the nite.
October 9, 1932 - Ray and Willie went out to Ola's. I went along and brought the car back to town. This evening Mom and I went out to Ola's to get Ray so he could go along to bring me back here. It was snowing when we got here.
October 10, 1932 - Feels like winter this morning. Mrs. Jochens and Dorothy visited school this p.m. I washed and finger-waved my hair and also finger-waved Evie's.
There was certainly no cause for Grandma to have taken note, but on October 10, 1932, my great-grandmother Laura Wiseman Lawson died. I have, but not with me, a copy of her obituary. I think the headline was something about the last of a pioneer family. And in a way, she certainly was that.

Just in case you didn't know it - You know Lena Nieman as Lena Miller.
