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.

Off to western Nebraska
Sun., August 16, 1936 - Had the dinner with Bess, Dorathea, Irene, Raymond, Helen, Alma and John B. here. Everything just fine. Pete's stopped awhile late this afternoon.
Mon., August 17, 1936 - Howard away bailing. Went over to the folks. I ironed while they packed. Helen & Mrs. I. are taking Irene to Sunol tomorrow. They're going to visit relatives in Colorado, too. Stayed home while Howard went to Lodge.
Tues., August 18, 1936 - Went to town to wash. On my way home Stopped to see Florence. Emelia, Marcella, and Dallas were there.
There is a Sunol, California but, after confirming with Mom, I can say with confidence that Grandma is talking about Sunol, Nebraska. It is in the Panhandle and therefore, close to Colorado. And, Aunt Irene taught there.
I am not confused about that, but now I have Grandma calling her grandparents and her in-laws "the folks" so I may be confused every now and then about that.
Photo is of Sunol, Nebraska. There's not much to say about the town, I suppose. The population as per the 2010 census was 73. It was platted in 1909 and a post office was established at Sunol in 1910, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1973.
