Very belated #grandma recordings this morning (for last week); grandma had told me about two farmers who had forced laborers during World War II: one of them had a married couple from Poland, which had to eat in the kitchen, not together with the family in the eating room. One day, the woman jumped his back and scratched his face. The other one had a couple from Ukraine. They should have also eaten in the kitchen, but he refused. His reasoning: "if they work like us, they also eat like us!"

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.

Today's belated #grandma recording contained the first mention grandma's grandma's photo album. She said, it's still in family possession, but when I asked the relative, whose mother reportedly still had it, he told me, that there is no album that matches the description. What a pity, because it apparently contained the only photo of painter Frank #Buchser, the reported father of grandma's grandma. It would have been a tiny bit of proof rather than stories and love letters, that were burnt out of respect for he dead. 😭

Does any beings here have experience with running GrandMA 2 or 3 onPC under Linux, by using an VM, Wine, Winboat or something like that?

Boost appreciated :)

Yet another very belated #grandma recording. Key take-away is probably, that she told the story, on how her dad hit someone with a garden fence post (probably a drunken fight that got out of control) and that one lost his eye/sight. Then grandma says, that she told her sister, that children often pay for their parents' sins. Grandma had sight problems for more than the last decade of her life …
