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.

Of course
Sat., January 16, 1937 - Clear & warm today. About 5:00 tonite we decided to walk to town. We left at 6:00. About 1-1/2 miles from town the wind changed to the northwest. Soon after we got a ride with Clarence Hoeman. We played Pinochle from 12 to 3:30. Stayed all nite.
Sun., January 17, 1937 - Howard walked home about 9:30. Mom and I canned 12 pints of sausage and 12 quarts of roasted pork today. We talked all the time of course.
Mon., January 18, 1937 - Howard came about 3:30 this p.m. All of VonSeggerns except the 2 older boys are sick in bed with flu. Dorothy Troutman & I are supposed to stay there tonite. After we got there they took Janice [Janie?] who has pneumonia to Wayne. Jo stayed here, too. Carl & Howard were here until 12:00 Howard stayed with Carl.
Why, of course, Grandma and Grandma Anna talked all the while they were canning. I would be shocked if it were any different.
We went to Jayme and Ashley's wedding this last weekend. Such a lovely and wonderful couple they make. So happy for them.
