You are so right, when they are horrified, you know you did your job, perfect analogy!

I'm sure my children will one day be horrified by what I've written about them.

I have "collections" in boxes for others in my family, but they are not in binders totally. There is two binders for one daughter, but not the other one or my husband yet. My father has been given a memory book also, but to my knowledge has never written in it. I hope your parents are more diligent regarding this. I also have spoken with my daughter and plan further arrangements for all of my genealogical items I put together just because I do not want to see them thrown away. This has been a big topic this week for me!<br /><br />Hi Harriet, there is so much I want to do and never have enough time. The best I can do is what I can do and that is better than nothing at all! <br /><br />Hi Michelle, I hate to tell you how many times I "started" my life story...at least we have them started, right?<br /><br />Thank you all for your comments! They are greatly appreciated!my Heritage Happenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245411628267355846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4389010910787631843.post-23071725063621397602010-03-01T10:08:22.836-08:002010-03-01T10:08:22.836-08:00Thanks for the reminder.

Then life got in the way....<br /><br />I also have a binder or 2 with my life BC (before children) when I had my horses.<br /><br />I have 3 ring binders for my kids and their accomplishments/activities but not my husband or myself.<br /><br />I could at least start gathering and organizing some of those items relating to hubby and me that have come along since the kids were born and put them in a 3 ring binder. Great idea!Michelle Goodrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03427355155193196767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4389010910787631843.post-14782080539234495582010-03-01T07:35:17.142-08:002010-03-01T07:35:17.142-08:00What a great thing to do!

I've also started similar binders for my husband and son, and I gave my parents (both age 81) some "memory books" at Christmas 2008 in hopes that they will record some of their stories. Let's just hope the descendants don't throw these treasure troves away!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902380558583190500noreply@blogger.com
