Return to a time before the age of radio, television, and computers when families made their own entertainment in the home by playing games, performing homemade plays, and making music with household gadgets; children practicing their math tables and reading aloud.  Mom and Pop sat on the front porch listening to crickets and greeting neighbors passing by.  Such were quieter, simpler times.

Just at the edge of town,  on the west side,  you'll find the best antique shop around.   Something for everyone who takes the time to forget the world and explore.   Wow,  look what I found... a Blue Willow teapot just like my grandmother's.   I'll carry it home to a place of honor and memories on my kitchen shelf.

My life is consumed with scrapbooking.   From the first day of school,  the wedding,  the zoo,  our lives I need to record.   But it doesn't stop there, there's much more to this.   An addiction,  you might say.   Oh,  we must save all receipts,  placemats,  brochures,  wristbands,  and letters - for the story they will tell more in-depth.   And then,  of course,  there are the stories filled with papers,  gadgets,  widgets,  and do-dads that no scrapbook could do without!   But us scrappers,  we know what we are really doing,  recording our daily lives for future generations to enjoy!   What a Joy of Life!!
