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.

Birthday blizzard
Sat., February 1, 1936 - Went to Norfolk on the train. Saw Niemans and came home with them. The oxfords I got at Buck's before Xmas were breaking out at the side. I took them back and they gave me a new pair. Tonite Mom and I went to Gormley. Mom had four teeth pulled, and I had one wisdom tooth pulled.
Sun., February 2, 1936 - Frank Fleer & Edwin scooped out our street this morning. I typed parts for the program. Raymond brought Irene's typewriter in yesterday. We had oyster soup tonite. Howard was here, too. He took me out to Nieman's tonite.
Mon., February 3, 1936 - Treated the kids to candy bars today. Jean & Marjorie brought me a cream puff. Pete C. & Temmes came at 3:00 for their kids. A regular blizzard had started. At times we could hardly see south to Nieman's. The rest got rides home at 4:00. Went to bed early.
Ah, cream puffs. Such a wonderful food invention. I know Mom has said she wonders why she doesn't make them more often, easy and so good.
