I had family pictures scanned and added numerous "quick pick" illustrations, and we ended up with a quite nice book. I had hard bound copies made for all of my siblings and their kids. I think Mom was very proud and happy with it.
Last Mother's Day my daughter gave me a similar book.
So, I have decided to use blogger to start writing some of my stories.
I Think it's going to be a long winter, so with laptop and a warm fire I'm starting
Merikay Remembers.
Of course I'll keep up my dream here, but remembering will be fun.
Exercise Goal:
1000 miles on the treadmill,
1000 miles on the treadmill,
2 miles Friday
Thinking of Margie
Total walked = 254 miles
Someday I will be hiking 1000 miles in National Parks!
Oh goody! That sounds fun. I'll check it out!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI am behind on my blog reading, and I missed your birthday, so I get to wish you ALL GOOD THINGS today instead.
I gave my mom one of those books,too. A couple of years later I hadn't gotten it back and asked her about it. She didn't remember getting it. :(
They are such a wonderful idea and I'm glad you made a book of your mom's, and it must be such fun to have your kids give you a memory book, too. It will be such a good legacy for them.
Happy Birthday! I am late too, been traveling so much we haven't been online as often. Blogging your stories is a good idea! The book sounds like it was an excellent idea. I have seen similar things over the years and always admired the creative folks who put that time into making them. Very cool thing to do for family!

I love the posts on your other blog. No comments over there, eh? Maybe the idea is to keep the stories from a consistent perspective. Congratulations on getting started, though!
