My Dad sent me letters when he was fighting during WW2. He was in Germany and I was 5. He used to send me illustrated letters.My Mom wasn't a saver and they are gone. I still remember them, however.He would draw little clotheslines on the envelope with clothes hanging.Balishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17298193443371503407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1526821574480507893.post-5146753482254584702009-03-13T18:48:00.000-05:002009-03-13T18:48:00.000-05:00That is just the coolest Balisha!

I even bought one of those expensive Lee Valley ten-year garden journals and have been sporadic with it at best. For me blogging seems to be the best way to keep a garden journal.<BR/><BR/>I'm a sucker for old people and old stuff too! This post reminded me of my grandparents, who used to write letters to us on those rough, unbleached paper towels that were used in public restrooms in the '60's! I still have most of those letters.<BR/><BR/>We can learn a lot from grandparents in these tough economic times. They don't call them the greatest generation for nothing! :)garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1526821574480507893.post-8465073269136392352009-03-11T18:17:00.000-05:002009-03-11T18:17:00.000-05:00So many of the things you mention I have done in t...So many of the things you mention I have done in the past.

It's very easy to cut and paste photos and descriptions from online catalogs onto MS Word pages and add whatever you like in the way of notes. <BR/>Still, there is always something to be said for a book or scrapbook that you can hold and touch.<BR/>MarnieRoses and Lilacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121676379580186489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1526821574480507893.post-47919112210965756262009-03-11T11:54:00.000-05:002009-03-11T11:54:00.000-05:00Wouldn't that be great for kids too.

An idea that was possibly born of necessity and/or frugality back then. :) Perfect for tucking seeds packs and notes into. Thanks for the directions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
