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.

Priorities, priorities
Sun., April 26, 1936 - Mom, Ray, and I went to see "the place" this a.m. Heithold moved off last week. The house needs painting and papering. Only about 7 or 8 junk piles can be found around the place. Went home for dinner and back again in p.m. Howard there, too. We raked the garden and cleaned up one junk pile. Howard brought me to Niemans this eve.
Mon., April 27, 1936 - Cloudy this a.m. and clear this p.m. I read until 9:30 tonite. Irene and Helen came up to school tonite and brought some school books back.
Tues., April 28, 1936 - Rained this afternoon, even thundered some. The rain soaked in about an inch or two.
Obviously I am reading between the lines here, but did they put off deciding to get married until they had a place to live first? Makes sense to me. So, that's the first priority. Equally, or likely more important, was apparently the garden. Skip the other six or seven junk piles, let's get the garden ready! Gotta love it. Speaking of which, my little raised beds are all weeded, and three of the four have something planted in them even. Woo hoo! That's one of them in the photo (ignore the yuck in the background -- it's gone now) complete with four Savoy cabbage plants, one eggplant and two green pepper plants. Hay mulch courtesy of messy goats who waste lots of it.
