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.

Two Iversen sightings, or rather a sighting of two Iversens
Wed., April 12, 1933 - A man stopped at school this a.m. to ask where Alvin Marshal and Venus Gnirk lived. The kids caught a mouse this noon and led it by a string around its neck. The wind blew me home this evening. Read until 9:00 and then went to bed.
Thurs., April 13, 1933 - Windy all day. I made out report cards after school. We listened to the radio until 9:00 and then went to bed. Evelyn made some cupcakes with Easter eggs on top for me to give to my pupils tomorrow.
Fri., April 14, 1933 - We had a treasure hunt today to find the Easter treat. I drove over to Behmers for my check. Got home just fine. I went to lodge with Alma tonite. Three new members, Helen & Raymond Iversen and Mrs. Art Von Seggern were initiated this evening. Home at 1:15.
Of course, this photo was taken no where near 1933, but it is a smashing picture of (left to right): Raymond I., Elmer Nielsen, Irene I., Helen Jones (formerly Iversen) and Howard I. How could I have forgotten how short Aunt Irene was? She is considerably shorter than Aunt Helen, and Aunt Helen was no giant in the height department.
