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.

Old Settlers
Wed., August 28, 1935 - Put the apples away and cleaned up the house. Met Mom at the train tonite. Ray and Willie came back tonite at 12:00 from Dalton. Ray took Willie up to his home.
Thurs., August 29, 1935 - Old Settler's Picnic. Dora and George from Blair, Meta, Lyle, Annie, Ola and kids here for dinner. I was down town from 4:30 to 6:30. Had a dandy talk with Carrie Hansen. Howard was here this evening.
Fri., August 30, 1935 - We all got up late this morning. Mom, Ray and I went to Norfolk this p.m. Dora was visiting Grandmother all afternoon.
I wonder what Old Settlers was like in 1935. I am guessing Winside didn't rate a fancy schmancy ride like The Whip shown above, but isn't it neat? Look at the painting on the side of the cars. Wow. Photo from https://chuckmantorontonostalgia.wordpress.com.
