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 fine how-do-you-do
Sat., June 8, 1935 - Played lazy again today. Howard came up tonite after I was in bed. I got up and we went out to Walkers to see the government survey tower.
Sun., June 9, 1935 - Went to Piller's Lake southwest of Stanton for a picnic dinner. I didn't know about it until this a.m. when Howard came here. Frances Nielsen and Hank Koch got it up. I guess the Iversens and I weren't supposed to be invited but Kenneth Wagner asked us anyway. Wagners, Davis', Fannie [?], Hank, Iversens and I went. We girls wandered around picking flowers in the p.m. while the boys played cards. I had supper at Iversens. After supper Howard brought me home in the Model T [I think - MJS].
Mon., June 10, 1935 - We washed today. I worked on my quilt this afternoon.
Well! It is unlike Grandma to get even slightly snarky in her posts, but she doesn't tip-toe around the picnic invitation. Yay for Kenneth Wagner for inviting the fun people to the event. I remember him as a member of The Good Guy Team.
And is Piller's Lake possibly Pillar Lake? I could find the latter when I searched, but not the former. But then again, it may have been a lake on private property.
