It seems kinda sad in a way. Of course I have no one to pass these things down to anyway, but the idea of history being lost into the ether seems a little scary. Maybe I'm more old school than I care to admit :-) oh hell, I dunno. It seems kinda sad in a way.

thanks, jessica. : )

This sort of thing used to be called a scrap book and it was kept in a closet, discovered after some elderly aunt or grandpa passed on. Its musty smell tickeled your nose and the pages, worn and crinckled on the edges, revealed more than photos, there were ticket stubs, event programs, sometimes letters and postcards. I know because I have several.... I wonder how we will "hand down" all this memorabilia that is stored on servers out there somewhere? who will treasure and save this for future generations?

What a fantabulous idea! This is precisely why I started blogging, to create timelines, memories, etc. I am quite forgetful. In fact, when a very old and dear friend reminded me that I used the phrase, "Eat me" every other word, I totally denied it. Thanks for passing this on, and HOORAY KELLY! (Oddly, I just created a post entitled "Kelly" today in honor of my oldest and dearest friend (same one who reminds me of my previously bad behaviors). Holy mother of God. What a fantabulous idea!
