“buy yourself something you really want with the $25.00”
Genealogy writing prompts can come from a variety of places and this comment in a graduation card is a perfect example. It was written by my grandmother in my eighth grade graduation card and I can almost hear her saying it as I read the words.
Digital pictures of cards can be a way to preserve them and the information they contain if it’s not possible to keep all the card due to space limitations. Sometimes one can see signatures change over time, realize that couples who signed cards together no longer are, or other life changes.
There may be something in one of those cards that gets you thinking and gets you remembering. Sharing them with others may cause their memories to come loose as well.

Do you remember what you bought?
I bought the “Handy Book for Genealogists” around that time.
