Every year since my kids were small and we were broke one Christmas I have tried to make a home made ornament. Everything on our tree was homemade except the lights and tinsel. I try to make home made cards when I can. I try to make home made presents. Every year in the fall I make scrapbooks for my kids.
My daughter Barb had bought a book for my mom that had questions and you filled them in as an example. What is your favorite memory of an uncle? I was going through the pictures in a box and found a picture of someone I did not know who it was and no name was on it. I asked my mom and she said that was your grandpa Warren who died before you started school. (He was killed in a car wreck) Both of these got me to thinking, when mom and me go so many memories go with us. Even if we mark the pictures they won't know the people or anything about them so I started scrapbooks and trying to tell the stories that we have in our memories. They may not always be correct as they are our memories. That is the reason I started this blog, where I can tell the stories even if I am not home to work on them. My daughter is keeping them to pass on to the next generation. My grandson already says he is the next keeper of the memories. Each of my daughters gets a book every year until now. Well I still have 3 pages to do from last year in one of them.
Hopefully this blog will also help with the memories. I love my girls and sorry about the Christmas scrapbooks but great grandma and me are making more memories
