I did keep a diary during high school..it was way too revealing..I finally ripped out all the pages and burned it. <br />Your Grandfathers journal..what a gift! And how lovely to get it all scanned and into book form. <br />Recently I was given my husband Grandmothers Diary and a book that she pasted important things in. It is to be my winter project..I am going to start a private family blog and then it can be published from there in Live Writer:)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816015196790632629.post-18949784355026245392011-11-08T20:24:16.598-07:002011-11-08T20:24:16.598-07:00That is amazing, what a wonderful thing to have an...That is amazing, what a wonderful thing to have and to be able to read. I used to be very good at keeping a journal. For a while I found it hard to write and then I started blogging. When I started blogging, even though I don't blog about deep personal feelings, it kind of filled the void. However when I do look back at my journals, I see the value in being able to look back and see where I was, what I was doing and also, who I was. So I think it's an important thing to do for ourselves and also for those we love, look at how you've gotten to know your Grandfather through this. Great post! :) New Years resolution from me- back to journaling!luckybunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663313808544386765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816015196790632629.post-49004395721157443762011-11-08T17:26:20.435-07:002011-11-08T17:26:20.435-07:00That is very neat.

I've been scanning photos from my parents' childhoods, "courting" days, early years of marriage, and my brother & my childhoods. It is a huge job; however, one that I believe is worth the effort so many folks can take advantage of digital technology. Fortunately, I do not have journal entries to transcribe!!<br /><br />AnneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816015196790632629.post-64708670852410625282011-11-08T12:38:54.675-07:002011-11-08T12:38:54.675-07:00What a great gift!

The Buffalo Bills? Where did he live?<br />My online Journal has been posted every day for over 3 years and involves much more than family. A long time ago I kept a handwritten version (for about 10 years)...that one was much more personal and would make quite a novel.Lori Skooghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03458010787337492501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816015196790632629.post-41669786489879098712011-11-08T09:24:31.782-07:002011-11-08T09:24:31.782-07:00That is truly a treasure.

We did have scrapbooks for our school years and my parents put in all kinds of stuff - report cards, sports awards, etc. My Dad would update each school year's pages with our friends, hobbies and cute comments and notes on each of us kids. My Dad died when I was a teenager, so those notes in his handwriting are special to us...Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01736592362765508427noreply@blogger.com
