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.

Tired of canning
Sun., August 25, 1935 - To S. S. and church. Ola brought some apples just as I left for S. S. After church Alma and I rode out to Troutman's with Mr. Freese. We took some fruit from the Rebekahs to Neville who had her tonsils taken out last week. Howard came in tonight and we went up to Aunt Emma's. We brought home over a half bushel of cucumbers. She's going to bring more Thurs.
Mon., August 26, 1935 - Canned 2 quarts of tomatoes and salted down the pickles. Mrs. Jordan and Mary Claire here this evening to see Mom about sewing. Gilbert and Hazel brought us a half sack of Whitney crabs and a small dishpan of grapes! Aren't they nice!
Tues., August 27, 1935 - Baked bread and cinnamon rolls. Canned 14-1/2 quarts of pickled apples. Ola and Annabelle were here this afternoon.
I don't know if Grandma was tired of canning, but I'm certainly getting there.
