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.

Pound shower?
Sun., February 28, 1937 - We went to church. Stayed after church for the pound shower & dinner for Rev. Knaub, the new minister. Over to Graef's tonite for Raymond G.'s birthday with the kids.
Mon., March 1, 1937 - Baked 2 cakes but neither was very good. We went to installation with the folks. Wayne installed for both Reb. & Odd Fellows.
Tues., March 2, 1937 - We went over home to butcher. I expected Myrtle to be there but she stayed home to bake bread. They butchered 3 hogs. We get a half & a quarter.
I had to do a search and am not sure, but I think a pound shower is where you bring a pound of something. Perhaps this was a welcoming gift for Rev. Knaub? I had not heard of such a thing before but it's a neat idea, I think.
Here's me today for the photo. I got a new haircut just an hour ago. Don't count on it looking like this again, though.
