I did it. I printed my blog. I've wanted to do so for a long time. It's hard to believe I timidly began blogging in the spring of 2006. For a whole year I printed out each page and placed it in a notebook and gave it to my mother to read. But it was time consuming. I began to research ways to print the rest of my blog, and as time went on, new and easier methods were available.

I found that once I started blogging I journaled less. And when I go back and read some of my blog, I realize it is a pretty good record of what's gone on in my life. In fact, I've found myself looking back to find out the date of when something happened, since my memory has gone wandering in recent years! Inside the front cover is written "for posterity"--meaning, for future generations. Maybe a great grandchild will find it and read it someday ... and wonder ...

It wasn't cheap. But I think it is worth it. Thankfully I happened to receive a monetary award at work that I used for this. I like the way it came out. I did it in two volumes and hope to do a third for 2010 when the end of the year arrives. You can see on my side bar a "button" noting the company I used (it's not a link--google it). I skipped the endless table of contents to save money, and some pages aren't laid out quite right (a title may be at the bottom of one page with the story or photo on another); but the photos are wonderful and over all I am very pleased. And the books arrived in about three-four days' time!
