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.

Big stuff
Wed., September 18, 2002 - After work Nancy took me to North Bend where we met Greta. Then I went on to Winside. Raymond Iversen flew into Lincoln at 9:00 P.M. -- for a 2 weeks visit.
Thurs., September 19, 2002 - Called Myrtle in A.M. - pretended I was still in Lincoln. Then to Rabe's to get my quilt that Arlene had quilted. Visited & had coffee & cookies. Then to cafe for chicken fried steak. Met Lena, Edna & Otto Carstens there. Elsie Janke had a doctor's appointment so I didn't see her. Lester fell & Greta had to go home so she didn't eat with us. In P.M. we went to Myrtle's. Lois told us not to tell her too far ahead of time we were coming -- she gets all worked up & tries to do things. Had a real nice visit. Greta & I played Rummikub in evening.
Fri., September 20, 2002 - Went to Oberle's in morning. Happened to see Dorothy Jo as she was headed for the bank. She came to the house & we had a lovely visit. In P.M. we went to see Sophia Morris. John is in the nursing home -- he's getting Alzheimer's & Sophia couldn't take care of him. She still crochets & pieces quilts but is hard of hearing. Rather hard to visit with her. Rummikub in evening.
Busy few days for Grandma leading to longer diary entries for her. Giving me carpal tunnel syndrome here.
Chicken fried steak is one of those foods I absolutely love but don't have often, which is likely a good thing for my waistline. Photo from the Food Network.
