Surely it's better to have an elementry level blog than say graduate level. At least with an elementary level you know everyone, people of all intellectual levels can read and understand your writing.
I actually think having it rated as elementary level is quite a compliment. To be able to describe your life and events is such a rich and interesting manner using such accessible language requires a lot of writing talent. Congratulations!
My mother, who worked for the gov'mint during the Great Depression, used to say, "When you write a letter, write it as dumb as you know how." I was 40 years old before I figured out what she meant. "Dumb as you know how," means "Write in simple sentences that anyone can understand."
Elementary Reading Level means that anyone who reads on a grade school level can comprehend what you're talking about. It has nothing to do with Content, of which yours is very good.
