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.

School's out!
Wed., May 15, 1935 - The three sixth grade boys cleaned the basement today and did an excellent job. Robert took Co. exams. The rest worked on fair work.
Thurs., May 16, 1935 - Finished fair work today. The sixth grade helped the 3rd and 4th grade make letters.
Fri., May 17, 1935 - Warmed up in p.m. Cloudy all this week. Checked in books. Dismissed before noon. Marjorie, Jean, and Verdelle Mae stayed until 1:30 to help me! Went to Card Club at Walkers. Howard didn't go, he was plowing late.
Oh, the last day of school. Knowing you would wake up in the morning with a whole summer ahead. It didn't matter if you had to get up early now and then for this and that, it was SUMMER! The country kids thought I was nuts, but I always told them how much I liked riding on the bus whenever I stayed overnight at their places. I was especially jealous to learn there were water fights on the way home after the last day of school.
I am not sure when the above photo was taken, but it certainly looks like Grandma with some students, likely her students.
