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.

Ah, youth
Sat., November 18, 1933 - We worked hard today. Mother washed curtains. Henry and Emma Kahler were here this p.m. Mom went down town this evening. After she and I were in bed Howard came. I dressed and went down to talk to him. Helen and Irene came up to the house looking for him.
Sun., November 19, 1933 - I went to S.S. this morning, taught Mrs. Weible's class, but didn't stay for church. Uncle Chris' came about 5:00, Alma came a little later, and Howard didn't come until after we had started eating. After supper, I suppose I should say dinner, we played cards. Howard brought me to Behmers.
Mon., November 20, 1933 - Was tired today, which isn't a bit surprising.
A couple of things come to mind here. Did Grandma and Grandma Anna go to bed really, really early or did Grandpa show up somewhat late? And did Helen and Irene come looking for Grandpa because they simply needed him or were he and Grandma talking into the wee hours? Either way, Grandma was tired the next day. How nice to be young and have the ability to bounce back quickly from working hard and staying up late (if that's what happened).
Here's a photo of Aunt Irene, Aunt Helen and Aunt Clara . . . obviously taken well before 1933.
