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.

Canning peaches
Fri., August 28, 1936 - Howard helped Carl Troutman this p.m. We went to Lodge tonite. I was named delegate to the Rebekah Assembly which is in October.
Sat., August 29, 1936 - I canned 14 quarts and 7 pints of peaches today. Howard went to town tonite but I stayed home.
Sun., August 30, 1936 - I canned 10 pt. of peaches this a.m. Howard helped cut corn over home today. I went over there for dinner. Helen and I went to her school this p.m. Stopped at Rews on way home.
Gotta love canned peaches. I have never seen the house Grandma and Grandpa are living in at this time, but I believe it was on the small side. Where did Grandma store all those many jars of canned goodies?

There was a cellar outside. We would go down there when there were bad storms. Very scary to a little kid.
ReplyDeleteActually I think it would be called a cave.
