this was fun.

Today I was in Indianapolis to record a StoryCorps interview with Grandma. We had about 45 minutes in a tiny but comfortable mobile recording studio, where I asked her about her life, from growing up in Linton, Indiana, to her adventures in Norway and Japan as Dave's Mom. She shared stories about not having electricity or running water until she was 11 or 12, about keeping a garden and preserving the produce, about how she felt empowered and proud that she supported herself after Grandpa died. We talked about the things that she's passed down to me (and to Bill) like our love of cooking and gardening. It was really neat!
