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.

Well, well, well
Thurs., April 27, 1933 - Mom, Annie and kids got to school about 2:00. The pupils had a good laugh when Leeroy pulled some of his stunts. We had lunch at Annie's. I went to Carroll with Howard Iversen this evening. The Rebekahs and Odd Fellows put on an anniversary celebration. Got to bed at 2:00 and oh! so tired!
Fri., April 28, 1933 - Lovely spring day, but my how tired I was. Rev. Savage was here for supper. Clarence road [sic] out from town on his bicycle. I went to bed as soon as the dishes were finished.
Sat., April 29, 1933 - Delmar, George and Harry weren't in school today. Started to rain about noon. Dismissed school at 2:30. We all got wet going home. Soon after I was home it just poured down, a strong wind, too. Mr. Walker went up to [the] other place this evening. He said school toilets were blown over. Charlotte & Helen here this evening.
Grandma was so tired on Friday after the big shin-dig that she, of all people, used "road" instead of "rode". I am speechless. (Just kidding!)
This is the last time I can see that Grandpa was referred to by his first and last name. From here on out, I believe he is simply Howard. And look at that face . . . who could blame her?
Does anyone know why they are having school on a Saturday? Making up for snow days, perhaps?
