What a great idea.

It was neat, and made a good present, the kind of present that lasts and will be found by someone someday in some old person's 'stuff' - I did the same with my mom, before she died, though that one I've so far kept to myself, it isn't really done, there's more stories about my own growing up that should be added to that. But together with some of the diaries and journals we had from my grandma's parents and grandparents coming over from Norway, it is a pretty good history of 'us'.
