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.

Free beer
Sat., June 29, 1935 - At last my flower garden quilt is finished. Mom sewed the last half of the last side for me. Mom and I went to the Dane dance at Pete C.'s. barn. Free beer there! H.I. didn't know anything for awhile. Got home at 4:00 a.m.
Sun., June 30, 1935 - Slept late of course. Howard came in about 3:00 and we went for a ride. Drove around south, east, and west of town.
Mon., July 1, 1935 - Hot as the dickens today. I worked awhile on my star quilt. One of the colors doesn't suit me so I'm going to try to get some material that will look better.
My goodness. I don't think Grandma has mentioned beer before. How scandalous. Also, did Grandma Anna stay out until 4:00 a.m., too? Crazy times.
I am only guessing that the Pete C. mentioned is Pete Christensen. And with that in mind, here's a photograph of Uncle Pete and Aunt Margaret (far left and far right) with Uncle Nels and Aunt Mary Iversen, taken at Vona, Colorado.
