I have looked at my own old address books(several) a few times, and I guess I just went techno and now it's mostly online, kind of risky I guess. <br />I love this image of you and Katie, making new entries, starting new journeys. Here come the tears again....much to be happy and sentimental about in all this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129662082248482002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453890267354195934.post-28003032841207883342010-08-17T11:48:05.349-04:002010-08-17T11:48:05.349-04:00A great post Pam, you are so right our address boo...A great post Pam, you are so right our address books are a historical record of our lives. I think that is why I continue to use our old one despite having been given a new one as a gift when we moved to Italy! I have found quite a few friends I had lost contact with on FB that were still in my address book at old addresses! Thanks for your comments on my blog, it is lovely to have you as a follower now and I hope to tempt you to make that trip one day.LindyLouMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282788551449445133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453890267354195934.post-58722187531957202412010-08-16T22:40:15.174-04:002010-08-16T22:40:15.174-04:00That was a big moment for you.
