My grandmother died in 2005. She did not own a computer. I think she could have mastered some computer skills, but she had plenty of interests and activities and friends to keep her engaged in the world. She wrote things down, not fictional stories but events of her life, both past and present. After she died, I was given the honor of keeping some of her writings. I thought starting a blog with them might be fun. I hope readers will find it enjoyable. Thanks for stopping by.

No Wild Ginger around here**
Tues., April 18, 1933 - Sent a birthday card to Mom today. I sorted my patterns tonite and now have each month's material in a separate envelope. That was a real job. Stayed at the schoolhouse until 5:30.
Wed., April 19, 1933 - Felt sick in school this p.m. Went home about 4:30. Tried to sleep awhile. Bernice Schmidt called up. She wants to wear my jacket in the play tomorrow nite. Mayme called. I'm going to go to Hall's Friday after school, go to show in Norfolk in evening and to dance at Hoskins, back to Winside Saturday morning.
Thurs., April 20, 1933 - School same as usual. We went to the play at Hoskins this evening. "Wild Ginger" was its name and it was excellent. Dorothy Jochens went along. Mr. and Mrs. Walker took my car and went to Scheurich this evening.
Try as I might, I could not find any information on a play titled "Wild Ginger". There are several restaurants in the country with that name, and it is a real plant, but none of that insight helped me any. And yes, that's a photo of wild ginger above.
**Oops, thought I posted this, but it was sitting here patiently as a draft. So, it is out of order as I already posted 4/21 to 4/23 just a bit ago.**

Mom had a car? This is the first I ever heard of that.
