Sunday's #grandma recordings were a double round (nearly 200 lines), but consisted of parts of a lot of a different stories (often about her suffering in life), which I had mostly heard before. I think she also was pretty medicated that Easter Sunday in 2023. It was the only time, that wife and kid came with me, because the kid insisted on wanting to see her as well.

Today's #grandma recording: "You don't really like to speak about your wedding, right"? - What? - "You don't really like to speak about your wedding, right?." - What? - "You don't really like to speak about your wedding, right?." - "Was not that nice. Was not that nice."
Then she told me, that when they were in the church (she wasn't even sure anymore, which church it was), she saw the Kohleklau character https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohlenklau and that she was so scared.

In today's #grandma recordings, still from the nursery home visit on 2 April 2023, I was trying very hard to figure out how she met her first husband. But probably, because it was a really bad marriage, she kept ditching the main path of the story and found a lot of spin-off stories with no actual relationship to my initial question. After these 20 minutes, there is another recording titled "wedding". I honestly don't know, if I was more successful back then.
I think, she buried the whole thing pretty deep. The photo albums also didn't include wedding pictures. Luckily, her sister had an album full of wedding pictures (real gem), that also contained two pictures of grandma's wedding. Somehow, it felt I bit like betraying grandma, when I scanned them, if that makes any sense?

CW: physical violence against children
Today's belated #grandma recording was the first one of a total of seven recordings dated 2 April 2023.
It was mainly a repetition of bad experiences during her life:
- taking over the farm from her grandmother, the water froze and she had to carry water in a big wooden container inside to feed the cows
- her uncle making a path for her through the snow in the morning when she went to school (underlining, how well her grandma and her uncle Wilhelm supported her as opposed to her parents)
- her mother beating grandma's brother so badly, that the forester later told her, he would have reported her, if he had died from it
- her mother beating her
- her mother being lazy
- her mother making noise every morning while grandma had breakfast
- her mother throwing the coffee remains in the sink right after she had cleaned itThe recording started with the story of her grandchild Florian peeing in places, where one does not (he had learned it from his father) and basically ended with her cousin boys competing at the window, who had the furthest reach ...
The recording ended with "But you also think, that I won't be able to live alone anymore, right?" Poor thing, she still had to lay there in bed for another six months. Six months, for which I am very grateful, because it motivated me to visit her every week in order to talk to her and record as much as possible.

Junior showed up again, snuck towards the food bowl immediately today and even hung out for a while after eating. Mama Lemon made it a point to sit close to me, to show him it's safe. She did the same thing with Tux and it seemed to help then.

And since I'm already bombing you with #grandma stories, here's a last one, we touched in the last recording of 26 March 2023 as well: The time, she got her reading aid.
I had started managing my "projects" using #GettingThingsDone a few months ago, which made me take her to #Solothurn, the home of our (very likely) ancestor, the painter #FrankBuchser https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Buchser-5 . We stood overnight. I met with some Swiss #Wikipedia folks in the evening. One of them, who was from Solothurn and knew about our interest in the painter joined us for a bit of sightseeing on the next day. He told us about his grandpa and how happy that one was with his electronic reading aid (basically a real-time scanner with a vertically mounted flat-screen monitor and optional voice output).
Grandma also was interested, so I declared it my new "project" and organized a visit from of that company at grandma to bring and show her the device. She was a bit overwhelmed, but gave it a chance.
The next day she nearly starved, because she forgot to cook. After years of not being able to read a thing anymore, she couldn't stop. The whole thing brought back so much quality of life. It cost "a few" thousand Euros and my aunt put of the question if that really still is worth it. Of course it was. She had it for over a decade!

Saw that only one more #grandma recording from the first visit was left, so I pulled myself together and transcribed that one as well.
We were mainly talking about installing a landline phone in her nursery home room and to potentially redirect the calls to her house to it. She kept saying, she might want it a bit later, but my earlier self kept selling the idea to her and it sounded like, she was ok with it. Later my mother told me, that grandma by all means doesn't want to have a phone. I never figured out, whose opinion that was in the end ...

In today's belated #grandma recording from my first visit in the nursery home, she told me some of the probably most frequently shared stories, like her uncle making a path for her in the snow, so she could get easier to school, and her grandma begging her to take over the farm on her deathbed, which she did in that winter, where then the water froze and she was all alone. It was weird, that there were passages in which she almost spoke Hochdeutsch, as opposed to our usual Alemannic #dialect.
We somehow ended up at an acquaintance of her, who used to beat his child quite brutally, and who had a second wife, who would call him a*hole in public. She said, he was Swabian. I couldn't help myself but to tell her a joke: What does a Swabian say, when he dies? - "Oh, it costs my life" (Swabians in German jokes are often referred to as greedy, which is also attributed to Scots).
Grandma laughed about it a bit. That's how she was: Even in the nursery home, having an oxygen tube under her nose, while I wore an FFP2 mask, she was able to laugh.

Today's #grandma recordings, two from March 2023, at first analyzed the relationship of living relatives, so I won't talk about them. Then we had her father hitting her uncle, because that one reported that the father's siblings were lingering around for lunch at 10:30 already. The uncle bled after that.
That story directly triggered the follow-up about grandma's mother beating her with a (cow herding) stick for not properly watching the cows (apparently there was a misunderstand on the task). Grandma was bleeding everywhere, she said, and then was told to wash her jacket in the watering trough. She showed me the spot at her temple ("Schläfe"), which still hurt when she touched it.
Generally, the stories grandma told me when she already was in the nursery home, often revolved around pain and trauma.
