My grandmother (who is 80 years old) and I have decided to write a memoir of her life. I'm very excited because she has had a fascinating life. She was born at the end of 1929 and so she has lived through the Depression, WWII, three marriages, one divorce, and two widowhoods. While her life has not been an easy one, we always tease her about her rose colored glasses. While pink has never been my favorite color, I decided this blog should be pink for her.
You may wonder why I have named this Skippy. It is the nickname we gave to her after her hip replacement. That lady is so tough that a couple of days after her surgery, she refused to have any pain pills other than Tylenol. I love her more than anyone in the world, and I hope to do her story justice.
As for me, I have a Master's degree in English and I teach English composition. I'll let you in on a little secret - I'm not very good at it, nor am I all that good at writing, but I believe in this project. I plan on using this blog to write my progress on the project. If anyone reads this, you are welcome to comment or make suggestions. If no one reads it, I suppose that's ok too. I'm really doing this for me and for her.
