Flominator<p><a href="https://genealysis.social/tags/Grandma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Grandma</span></a> also talked about visiting a carnival event with her daughters and their husbands years later. Some dude insulted her as a bawd ("Puffmutter"). My dad reportedly told him to shut up or they would take it outside. It made me smirk and sad at the same time, thinking at his age now.</p><p><a href="https://genealysis.social/tags/genealogy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>genealogy</span></a></p>
Flominator<p>Today's <a href="https://genealysis.social/tags/grandma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>grandma</span></a> recording was the second half of last week's. It mentioned the winter rye seeds she received from a neighbor to grow there on the farm, she took over alone at age 21. She had learned sowing from her uncle and managed to turn the three Sesters, she had received into 35. She went at the plants every even, to see how much they had grown. She said, it basically was her only joy back then. And she was very proud of herself for managing it.</p><p><a href="https://genealysis.social/tags/genealogy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>genealogy</span></a></p>
