Astonishingly, today’s blog is Covid-free.
Although, if I hadn’t been pinned down at home for hours on end, I’d probably
not have gotten around to this project.
This
is a selfish task, pretty much just for me. I’ve been writing this blog for
years, thanks to a mentor who had brushed aside my objections and my scoffing,
and convinced me to begin it. Much of it is without a doubt just day-to-day
drivel, but once in a while a topic will cause me to set down some long-lost
memory, or might be about an event I’d enjoy revisiting sometime.
Instead
of having to do electronic forensics through years past, I create a hard-copy
chronicle, using Shutterfly. (No,
Not
every entry is included, otherwise each book would be the size of the Manhattan
phone book (or does such a thing still exist?) and would be too pricey. But I

hijinks with the grandboys,
the arrival of the twin
grandgirls,

Thanks for the idea of hard copy. Great project and I shall attempt to learn how.
ReplyDeleteI thought about doing that for my blog posts, but I've never been very motivated. I'll look into Shutterfly, though. Thanks, Marty, and I hope you have a great Easter. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea.
ReplyDeleteI hope you and your family get hours and hours of pleasure from them in the years to come.
Hard copy is a good idea. I keep thinking this computer version will always be here. Think that comes under not putting all eggs in one basket.
ReplyDeleteLovely synopsis here. Love Satchel.
ReplyDeleteInteresting idea to have books printed of your blog.
ReplyDeleteI made a book of some of my earliest blog posts years ago and sent it to my sister as a Christmas gift. Now I wish I'd made two so I'd have one. I remember using Blog2Book to do it. I'll have to see if that's still an option.
ReplyDeleteI congratulate you for doing this. I started too, once, and still have plans ... er ... dreams.
