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.

Another funeral
Thurs., September 7, 1933 - The Nurnbergs told us this morning about what they had seen at the circus. Ronald was absent all day. I finished making out the order for books and supplies. Either Mr. or Mrs. Behmer will come after us after school and will keep on for some time.

Sat., October 14, 1933 - Mother and I washed clothes and cleaned the house. I ironed my clothes this afternoon. Went down town at noon and ordered flowers for Mr. Lautenbaugh.
Sun., October 15, 1933 - Mother and I went to church this morning. I went up to Lautenbaughs' this afternoon and was there until 5:30. Alma doesn't have to teach this next week. Wednesday they're going to Sioux City to pack furniture and move to Winside. Howard brought me to Behmers tonite. We stopped at Ola's a few minutes.
In peeking ahead, I can see that the flowers are for a funeral, probably Mr. Lautenbaugh's as Grandma would more likely be getting flowers for the funeral as opposed to ordering some for a surviving spouse. An online search did not help me to make sure.
Grandma took a break from her diary for a little over a month, much like I took a month's break from posting. Hopefully, both of us can get back on track now after our hiatus.
