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.

Some new faces for 1935
Tues., January 1, 1935 - Clear and sunny. Annie, Ola, kids, Verne and Edwin here for dinner; played pinochle and rummy. Howard took me and my belongings to Goodlings tonite.
Wed., January 2, 1935 - Everybody in school after vacation. Passed out report cards. Irene stopped after school and got my program books. Examination questions came today. Copied questions and studied Rebekah installation piece tonite.
Thurs., January 3, 1935 - Gave a few exams today. Cold wind this a.m. and thawing in p.m. To Emerson with Irene, Helen and Howard tonite to see their installation. Jo, Pete, Mike, Dorothea, Bess there, too. Played cards afterwards.
Goodling is a name I do not recognize from all those conversations around the dining room table with the older generations. But, it appears it is the family Grandma is staying with at the beginning of 1935.
The Iversen name has been dropped and everyone is on a first name basis so far as Grandma's diary is concerned.
Jo is Johanna Jensen, perhaps? And Pete and Mike are Jensens?
Dorothea and Bess are the Rew sisters?
I need a program.
