You can never have enough...

[Lilith7]

Well, I have started a project I have been thinking about for a lot of years. Since I became a grandmother in fact. I wanted to put my life on paper so that those kids I have never met, and might never meet can at least know something about their grandmother. Well, the one here in New Zealand that is. So I bought a typewriter, knowing how tech changes so fast and old discs are hard to read these days, but paper is forever... The typewriter needed a new ribbon, so I did that, and then discovered an issue... So I bought a WORKING typewriter, oh so much better, lol. (Wanna buy a cheap not working machine? Cheap as...) And with the Veep debate as background music I disemboweled a lined journal and started on the first draft. Page six, and so many mistakes. But hey, I have started it...

I may be a while.

Oh..snap! I've been doing a sort of journal for a few years, very sporadically but with the years my handwriting has become worse so when covid hit I started doing an occasional covid journal on the computer.

Many years ago, I had the brilliant idea of getting both parents to tape record some stuff about their lives, eldest grandson listened to them both recently & really enjoyed them.
But the downside is that he's decided that I need to do one too & he's put this recording thingy on the cellphone (which I use to tell the time when out) but I really must get to it.

If his reaction to the recordings from his great grandparents is any indication, then your journal will be very well received, hope it goes well.
