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.

Car troubles, or rather trouble with a car
Thurs., January 2, 1936 - Schoolhouse cold this morning. Ray brought me to school and came after me. To Carroll for installation tonite. Ray went along. We thought Sophia & John were going to have their charivari dance tonite but they're not having it until next Friday nite.
Fri., January 3, 1936 - Ray took me to school again. I was going to drive but I had trouble starting the car. Ray left it in that extra gear last nite and I couldn't get it out of that.
Sat., January 4, 1936 - Slept late. Started a blouse out of my old green silk dress. Ray went up to Uncle Hans' to the dance up there tonite. I didn't care about going.
I do not know what kind of car Grandma was talking about, but here's a photo of the interior of a random 1935 automobile. Quite different from today's cars to say the least.
