  1. I spent lots of time with my grandma, (my mom's mom) when I was little listening to music by Charley Pride, Lynn Anderson & others. She & my mom influenced my love for music. I always felt so secure when I was with my grandma when I was very young.

    She took me in to live with her when I was ten years old. I feel so lucky that she said "yes" when I asked if I could live with her. I'm so grateful.

  5. Personally im of the mind why reinvent the wheel when #wled and #ledfx exists... what i love about #wled is that you can send it through a #grandma and control your lights like a professional fixture.

  6. Woke up and couldn't fall asleep anymore, so I did this week's #grandma recording already: Those were 31 Minutes from 27 December 2021, the last recording of that year, which I had started transcribing in the middle of November last year. Ahead, there are 28 recordings from 2022 before the final about 140 from her last year of life.

    In this recording, we talked a lot about how difficult it was for both of us to live in the same house as our parents as grown-ups. When it got too much for her, she would often escape to the mountains in Switzerland, where a friend from #Chur had a small cabin near Malix en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malix in #Graubünden.

    Then we talked about, how live on a Black Forest farm changed meanwhile and that there aren't the amounts of #snow anymore, that she experienced in her younger days with this ... "#GlobalWarming", I finished the sentence for her.

  11. Today's very belated #grandma recordings painted a picture on how winters were like on a farm that lies 5 km away from the village. They would get sacks of groceries upfront, like coffee, flour, semolina and animal food, in order to reduce the need for grocery shopping. In the evenings, her parents would sit on one side of the tiled stove ("Kachelhofen"), while her grandma would sit on the other. Her dearly beloved uncle Wilhelm was somehow missing from the picture in her memory. He would make things like baskets and brooms during winter. And on Sundays, he would sleep on the long bench in the Stube with his arm hanging down on the floor. Sometimes, my grandma would carefully put his hand back on the bench. She was so fond of her uncle, who seemed to care a lot about her as well and took her with him while doing all kinds of tasks around the farm. In the morning, he would put on his skis and make a path for his small niece until above the neighbors, because she wouldn't have made it through the the high snow alone. In the recording, we were both sure, that he would have been an awesome father, if only he would have had the chance for it: Wilhelm died in December 1945, aged 42 years, as a Russian prisoner of war.

  12. Thursday's #grandma recording, the only one from October 2021, mainly revolved around former inhabitants of the house Vogtsmühle wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Vogtsm and another house in the neighborhood, in which the drama around forced laborer Stefan Kozłowski wikitree.com/wiki/Kozłowski-397 began, which later lead to his murder by the authorities. Grandma was convinced, that Georg Thoma, Olympic medal winning ski athlete from #Hinterzarten, only lived in Vogtsmühle and not in the other house as a kid, while her brother in law and the newspapers say that he did. I guess, she was wrong there.

    The recording also mentioned a previously unknown occupation of grandma as a waitress, from which she had a great view towards those two houses.

  13. Ultimately, I asked #grandma, if she knew anything about the predecessor of the current war memorial in #Hinterzarten, in order to figure out, why her designated father Augustin #Steurenthaler is still missing on it, although he went missing during it. But all she remembered was that there were naked men on it and that it was quickly removed after the war.

  15. Today, I completed transcribing the second half of the #grandma recording, I had started last week and while at it, I managed to complete the remaining two recordings from that 10th of October 2021 as well. There was another round of picking on poor aunt Sophie #Steurenthaler who cried for months about losing her husband to the war. Grandma was still upset on her, when Sophie passed away some 35 years later, she wouldn't even visit her corpse.

    In the next recording, I asked her about her view on the events started by her uncle Joseph #Steurenthaler, that ultimately led to the murderer of #Polish forced laborer Stefan Kozłowski in 1941 (wikitree.com/wiki/Kozłowski-397)

  17. Today's #grandma recording from October 2021 I couldn't transcribe in one round. I is 28:44 long and I had to stop after 20 minutes and over 160 bulleted lines of notes.

    It mainly revolved around the mandatory social year, grandma did at her aunt Sophie #Steurenthaler ( wikitree.com/wiki/Steurenthale ), who lost her husband to the war in that time. She was crying all day for months, which made grandma furious. She promised herself, that she would never be like this. And she said, she wasn't, when her own husband passed away about 20 years later.

    After she left from Sophie, since that one didn't have work for her anymore, she managed to work for an evacuated orphanage in her neighborhood. She had huge fights with her dad about it, since she made 1 Mark an hour, while he only received 38 Pfennig with working in the forest for the state. I found it funny, that this story popped up this close to #InternationalWomensDay, where #GenderPayGap is one of the central topics usually.

  19. #Grandma also mentioned her foster-child introducing her to a waitress with the rare name #Steurenthaler (grandma's maiden name) in a restaurant in #Hamburg in the 1970s(?). Unfortunately, I've still not been able to establish contact to Steurenthalers there nor to find the actual connection to them. It might have been wikitree.com/wiki/Steurenthale, but I don't know a lot about her due to privacy laws.
