Long Time, No Type

Wow! It's been a long time since I wrote anything on here. I let it slide after I started teaching online classes at night. I like writing on this blog, but I have to admit I am a nerd. I don't have much interesting to say.

I have gotten interested in geneaology and I have started a Word document in which I write about my life when I was a young girl. There are so many little things I would like to know about my own family. So maybe one day my grandchild(ren) will want to know these things about me.

I still can't help wanting to write about my grandmother. The other day I thought about what all she could do at my age. She knew how to wring a chicken's neck, pluck it, cut it up, and fry it. She raised hogs and had her own garden. She knew a lot about canning. She had a sewing machine so I assume she could sew, although I never remember her making a dress or anything.

I suppose I expected that when I was her age, I'd know how to do more things. Sure, I can make a web page from my iPhone, but that is not a survival skill.

Now I think I'll work on my family heritage digital scrapbook. It's a skill she didn't have but I have feeling she'd like to see it. Then she'd make me some chicken and dumplings from scratch.
