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.

Skipping ahead a bit
Mon., February 22, 1937 - Went with Howard over to Chris & Clara's to help move. We packed fruit jars this morning. I stayed all night.
Tues., February 23, 1937 - Packing! & more packing. I went home with Howard tonite. We got a grant check for $16 today.
Wed., February 24, 1937 - Jo helped today at Clara's too. We were over to the new place & had dinner at 12:00. Cold & windy with occasional snow flurries.
That was a pretty good grant check, I think. I did a little looking online and it appears the buying power of $16 in 1937 equates to about $280 in 2018.
I will have to remember to ask where Uncle Chris and Aunt Clara were moving from and moving to.
I still like this photo of (l. to r.) Aunt Irene, Aunt Helen and Aunt Clara.
