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.

Sometimes winter is just no fun
Thurs., January 23, 1936 - Mr. Niemann took us to school in the lumber wagon. Not quite as cold today. Snowed again tonite.
Fri., January 24, 1936 - Mr. Niemann took me to town after school. I went to lodge. Only Mrs. Wolf and Laura Jensen were there so we didn't have any. I stopped at Cora Brodd's to see a quilting pattern.
Sat., January 25, 1936 - I was going to Norfolk but the train was so late, I went back up the hill. Miss Nuss was up this evening. She brought a dress to be made. Hank Koch's charivari party at Wacker's tonite, I suppose it was too cold for the Iversens or they would have come.
Cold, snow, rides in lumber wagons, no-shows for events . . . like I said, sometimes winter is simply no fun. So, here's a photo of me having a good time in winter. Notice the big blob of snow stuck to the house between the window and the door.
