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.

A funeral and then back to school
Mon., September 4, 1933 - Bright sunshiny day. Mother came in about 8:30. We fixed a bouquet of our garden flowers, then out to Ola's about 10:30. The funeral was at the house at 1:30. The yard was full of cars and the house full of people. So many pretty flowers were sent. The church was full of people and more outside. I took some pictures of the flowers at the cemetery. Howard brought me to Behmers this evening.
Tues., September 5, 1933 - Mr. Behmer took us to school this morning, getting there at 8:00 with the Nurnbergs ahead of us. Hot and windy today. Bruce Stahl and Charlotte Faye Behmer are my beginners. I started to make out an order for new books. Mrs. Behmer came after us tonite.
Wed., September 6, 1933 - Warm today but not so windy. Today Bruce said he was tired of working. He and Charlotte Faye have quite a time remembering to keep quiet. Mr. Behmer went to town this evening. He bought a broom and floor oil for school. The Nurnbergs were absent this p.m. to go to the circus at Norfolk. Ronald was sick this p.m.
I had to giggle that the brand-new student was tired of working so early in the school year, I am guessing he was new because he just turned old enough to start school, not that he was a seasoned pro from another district.
I had trouble keeping quiet pretty much up until 12th grade.
