The other day I scanned something for the class reunion blog. It was an award I'd earned in 8th grade for reading and was given at graduation. I had no memory of this or the books we read, and no one has responded to my questions. Surely I wasn't the only kid who got one of these? Total silence. But while I was rummaging around in the basement storage area, I again pulled out grandma Mary's box of clippings, papers and scrapbooks. And I could feel it coming on. . . a web log devoted to paper memorabilia.
Also just this morning I found a really nice blogger dot com template web site. I haven't looked at all the possibilities yet, but lots of variety and good design.
Maybe I could do it just for a month the way I did Memory Patterns in November 2005.

I got something like that in grade school but didn't catch on to really reading a lot until high school. My mother read to us as kids at lot...and as my youngest sisters is 8 yrs younger and the others sister was/is a "real" reader(four books a week on average)I'd listen to stories two or three times...some passages I can still recall to memory,not prefectly but close. I didn't get a lot of awards in school and I know I didn't save them..I threw old report cards away because my math grades were so awful..and so it goes. Nice piece...and I am very glad someone saved this stuff. New blog idea is good one-looking forward to it...a selective reader
