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.

Baking and baling
Wed., November 11, 1936 - Howard baling for Dale Brugger. Clear & warm all day. I baked bread for the first time since I've been married -- and it was good!
Thur., November 12, 1936 - Howard baling for Leo Nelsen. I sewed all day. Elmer and Myrtle were here a few minutes this noon.
Fri., November 13, 1936 - Howard baling for Hoffman Bros. I washed some clothes by hand -- some job! We went to lodge tonite.
I still have not made a yeast bread with any success. Tried maybe twice and neither worked out. But, I'll try again after attempting to figure out what I have been doing wrong.
I did make aebleskiver this weekend. The first pan of seven looked somewhat like sad, abandoned turtle shells, but I got better as I went. John liked them quite a bit, so perhaps I'll make them on a regular basis -- after all, practice makes perfect. That, and Youtube videos. Photo from frugalityisfree.com.
And should that be Dale Bruegger?
