I am sorry for your loss
, and am glad your Grandfather's ledgers found their way to you. 
Thank you so much for sharing the pages with us -- I couldn't help but notice that his column for recreation had no amounts in it -- yet I'm sure they thoroughly enjoyed that time period. These days we are so accustomed to paying for any and all recreation that it stood out to me.
Enjoy this wonderful connection you'll continue to have with your Grandfather.Jen

In later entries, their recreation was something as simple as getting an ice cream cone or taking in a movie or dinner. It wasn't often because my mom was born in 1952, but I know they really did enjoy their life together, even the simple times. (probably *especially* the simple times!)
