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.

Poor Earl
Wed., April 29, 1936 - Cooler today. Cloudy but no rain. Once again I played outside with the kids at noon.
Thurs., April 30, 1936 - We had a good rain last nite. Mrs. Nieman rec'd word this morning that her mother is quite ill. Mr. Nieman took her to Altona right after breakfast. I got supper tonite. Mom called up and told me the boys' exam grades. Earl has to take 2 over. The others were good. Mr. Nieman went to Altona after supper.
Fri., May 1, 1936 - Earl felt pretty bad about his grades. Mr. Nieman took me to town right after school. Mom and I talked and planned.
I should state that regarding yesterday's post that I realize the garden likely was a genuine priority. Homegrown food was much cheaper and more readily available than that at a store, I would imagine. But still, getting the garden started had to be more fun than dealing with multiple junk piles.
