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.

Slow down, already
Fri., September 18, 1936 - Raymond and Howard still cutting and fixing the binder each day. We went with Raymond and Helen to a party dance at Hoskins -- Gus Perskes and Ed Schellenbergs among those giving it.
Sat., September 19, 1936 - Howard, Raymond, and Dad ground fodder this a.m. I went with Helen, her mother, Clara & kids & Jo to Wayne to 4-H Club fair and school exhibit. Howard and I went to town tonite.
Sun., September 20, 1936 - Chris & Clara, Elmer & Myrtle, Mike, Peter, & the folks were here today. The men made the silo bigger. We were over to Lettmans awhile this evening. Howard wanted to see Ed Heithold.
Seems everyone is quite busy, busy, busy. Glad there was some down-time involved.
Interesting how Maggie is Helen's mother and not Grandma's mother-in-law or Mrs. Iversen or something like that. Nothing to infer, but somewhat interesting. To me, anyway. Here's an undated photo with some of the many people mentioned in this post. Who is that with their arms folded in the background? For that matter, who is sitting next to Maggie/Little Grandma?
