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.

Gosh darn, but that's cute
Mon., February 11, 1935 - Fred and Herb N. at school before me this morning. Went to town with Irene and Helen tonite. We wrote out invitations for our dance this Saturday nite.
Tues., February 12, 1935 - Foggy today. I felt more tired today than yesterday. Studied my part this eve. Howard stopped a few minutes "to see how I looked" he said.
Wed., February 13, 1935 - Rained this p.m. We were going to practice tonite but it was too rainy. I studied my part and worked on the maps. Irene stopped on way home from Pete's to see if anyone had come to practice.
Oh, be still my heart, Grandpa. What a sweet guy. My only frame of reference as to Grandma and Grandpa is as an -- ahem -- older couple. They were grandparents and only grandparents to me. What I wouldn't give to have seen them at this young age.
Alright, who's chopping onions around here?
