Hey Y'all!
Do you scrapbook anymore? A long time ago, I signed up to sell scrap booking products for a very popular company. We didn't have Robbie at the time and I was becoming discouraged at not being able to have anybody to leave my scrapbooks to when I'm long gone. That's important you know!
I love history! I love reading historical fiction and I love anything that makes me feel like I'm living "back in the good ole days!"
Old quilts, old jewelry, old family treasures, etc.
When I was a little girl, my Pappaw Fred was the BEST story-teller. He could make you feel like you were living right in the middle of the story and were experiencing things that folks from his stories were feeling.
On Sunday afternoons, we'd take a walk down in the woods on our farm. There was this huge rock on top of a small hill. My Pappaw would tell us, every single time we passed it, that THAT rock was the exact spot where the old Indian Chief would stand and look out to check for the enemy. I could easily see that old chief, perched atop that rock, with his hand shielding his eyes, looking out all over this area, searching for the "enemy." Years later we were telling that and my daddy just laughed and laughed--after he informed me, my brother and my sister that he had pushed that rock towards that hill when they were clearing off the land. Ha!
Anyway...because of my Pappaw's love for "the story" and the details in each one, I too, find myself telling kids in my classroom stories. I love watching their faces as my stories unfold and their reactions. It is such an important part of who I am and how I came to be ME.
Not having any children was very upsetting in itself. Not having any children to leave my life's memories to was even more depressing. So I stopped scrap booking. I used to joke to my little sister and just tell her that if she ever had any kids, they could have my scrapbooks.
Then, one AWESOME day in June of 2006, my life completely changed as we welcomed Robert Lewis Hersey into our hearts and homes. We named him Robert after my daddy, my great-grandpaw, and my great-great grandpaw. Robert is a STRONG name in my opinion, and I knew my son would be graced with it as well. Lewis was my Pappaw Fred's middle name. I couldn't pin "Fred" on him. There was only ONE Fred to me, but I wanted to name my boy after two of the most important men in my life.
But...life happened. Other things took priority, and my scrapbooks didn't happen. For the past several months I have really felt bad about not doing any scrappin'. I looked around the internet and found My Memories! It's a really awesome site and I think it's just what I'll need to share our memories so that one day, my sweet boy can look back over everything and smile while he remembers.
Now....to the great part!
