MEMORY IS A TRICKY THING-RECORD IMPORTANT ITEMS

Do you ever feel certain about a particular date? Event? To discover some of the details are flawed. Keeping track of information in an organized fashion helps with accuracy. In the genealogy world, many small details get lost because no one recorded them generations ago. Or maybe those ancestors were not literate! So to the now, what works for you. Digital tracking is one method. Or an app like Evernote for all the notes. A simple desk or wall calendar with activities completed helps. Remembering historical events has become easier with the Internet and the ability to find facts quickly. But remember they are dates not necessary accurate information on the details. It is the writer's perspective. I had baby books for my girls when they were little. Some of the information like their immunization history came in handy recently. Made copies of the pages for them.  I also keep an Important Documents binder. Gets messy sometimes, but all relevant information is in one place. Those plastic pages where items can be placed helps with the organizing! Everyone wants us to go paperless but sometimes that piece of paper is needed for something. Scrapbooks with tickets, programs, misc stuff are a good way to have exact dates. Or scanning information into a computer file that can be shared with others as needed. But a binder or two with information that is portable and accessible lets the old blend with the new. Memory can be tricky and some of the details scrambled with time.

MANY FLOWERS MAKE A BOUQUET

That most brides have at their weddings. Flowers bring joy. Interestingly one flower can not make a flower arrangement. A single rose can be a sign of love and often greeted with the same enthusiasm as a dozen by the intended. A bouquet can represent the mood of the night- multi-coloured or one! Families are like bouquets- individuals- unique and sometimes colourful! If placed in the right water with a little sugar can last a long time. Eventually the flowers will die. The memory will last! Is your famiy like a bouquet? Do you think about the faded flowers? Many people press a special flower and keep it as a keepsake. Do you have some in a book?
