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.

Hail
Wed., July 12, 1933 - Helen went home today. This evening John, Uncle Chris, Gerald, Alma and I went to Carroll to take Beth home. Last nite Gus Hoffman's and around there south into Stanton Co. were completely hailed out. A bad wind struck Winside. It tore the little shed north of the barn off at Granddad's. Florence told us about it.
Thurs., July 13, 1933 - Alma had her examinations today and I'm preparing for mine for tomorrow. I think I about drove Alma crazy today reating [?] my secret work and lodge work to her. Florence said today that Ola's were in the hail district, but it didn't do much damage.
Fri., July 14, 1933 - Alma checked in her books today. We saw Mrs. Burt Lewis and she gave us a ride home, 100% better than going on the train. Went to Rebekah lodge. We had joint installation with the Odd Fellows. I wasn't examined during lodge because it was getting late. Howard brought me home.
Not sure who these people are, but they seem kinda tickled about big hail.
