I didn't do very well at keeping proper journals but I have rather detailed calendars all put in my calendar file. <br />I also have many old German scribblers full of things I can't read. <br />What I don't have is a hospitality journal..and I like that idea.Lovella ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/13870567090244361779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-88610442476330384692011-07-19T18:00:14.040-07:002011-07-19T18:00:14.040-07:00You are so organized!

Always liked the idea of keeping a journal but never got around to doing it much until I retired four years ago. Now I keep a personal/prayer journal each year and have found it very encouraging to review them once in a while.Sara at Come Away With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677354270954094291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-36160459577448632382011-07-19T09:57:25.824-07:002011-07-19T09:57:25.824-07:00Great post....I particularly like that last bit &#...Great post....I particularly like that last bit 'I'm all in favour of writing things down. Then it's OK to forget! I never thought of that before, you can just forget because its all there in the journal!

Now I look at my blog now as a way to remember more about my travels and things that interest me. <br />I have to admit I've become more careful these past few years about writing many personal facts about my family just for safety sake.Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-5855945182128733882011-07-19T09:02:41.971-07:002011-07-19T09:02:41.971-07:00Aw..

It drives me crazy when I invite someone over and can't remember what we had the time before. Your hospitality journal is a good idea .. also for ideas on what to make when our mind is blank.<br />You have beautiful writing.. as does your father in law. I can read German, but his writing looks like its done in a "Goetisch" ... so it's a chalenge. You'll have to find another older (than us)person. =)Anneliesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288355284573379421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-60874357419779261462011-07-19T08:07:52.266-07:002011-07-19T08:07:52.266-07:00That German handwriting is beautiful!

I have such a mind for food, thus far anyway, that I remember all events by what was served. Joann's baby shower in 1968? Shrimp dip served on those little buttery crackers. The ocean trip with Audrey in 1962? Cold fried chicken...yummo. It's an affliction.<br /><br />What are you folks about to discover in your father-in-law's beautifully written journal? What a treasure waits.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.com
