I'll have to encourage mine to do that also. <br /><br />Thanks for the great idea! <br />Sandra Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06680755110645856989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884813691327716608.post-25801232166310081572015-04-12T15:21:43.675-04:002015-04-12T15:21:43.675-04:00Great idea, Sandra.

I'd love to have family memories to write about. I may ask my grands to write about one memory each year and maybe put it together for them.sheri levyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044105588939751015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884813691327716608.post-77913920115499456762015-04-11T12:25:08.709-04:002015-04-11T12:25:08.709-04:00Gretchen,

A man in the project I'm finishing now was able to recount every detail about his fishing history for the past thirty years because of his fishing journal. He recorded places, weather, fish caught, and most interesting facts about the day. What a simple yet valuable treasure to pass along to his children.Gretchen Griffithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00218259974490265609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884813691327716608.post-50339156933505824662015-04-09T11:23:17.982-04:002015-04-09T11:23:17.982-04:00Linda,

I think about this quite a bit and haven't come up with a solution except to put them in a book, well, some of them at least. <br /><br />Keep gathering that information. Thanks for your comment!

Your grandchildren will thank you later. <br /><br />I'm glad I got you thinking! <br /><br />Keep writing!Sandra Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06680755110645856989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884813691327716608.post-58498631791161986122015-04-09T06:39:45.462-04:002015-04-09T06:39:45.462-04:00Sandra,

Photos that are unable to be opened would be tragic, even worse than finding "browned" or faded ones. <br />Still gathering information mostly at this stage. I agree <br />I love people's stories. I am tackling a memoir of my own. that writing my memoir is worthwhile, even if I never get it published. I will certainly try to though.

I am keeping journals for all my grandchildren though. Maybe I should add tidbits about my life to those volumes. You got me thinking. Thanks!!
