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.

Fun in Missouri
Sun., July 26, 1936 - Hunted up new cafes for our meals. Slept most of the afternoon.
Mon., July 27, 1936 - To Dr. Musgrave this a.m. Iny has a temperature and can't take a bath today. My back is weak and my blood pressure a little low. I'm supposed to drink around 12 glasses of different waters. I took my first bath this p.m. It's lots of fun. Rained tonite, lights went out so Iny couldn't wave my hair.
Tues., July 28, 1936 - Aunt Kate entered the McCleary Sanitarium today. Iny's temperature still a little above normal. She took a bath anyway. I have to stay 2 wks. Brrr!
The photo is of the McCleary Sanitarium and Clinic in 1930. I borrowed it from exsmo.com.
I learned elsewhere on the wonderful worldwide web that the sanitarium was founded by Dr. A. S. McCleary in 1901 for people with gastro-intestinal issues. He specialty was curing hemorrhoids without surgery and he advertised success or the patients did not have to pay. The sanitarium remained in business until 1974.
