Family History Fun: March 2012

"People will not look forward to posterity who never look backward to their ancestors." -- Edmund Burke

"When a society or a civilization perishes, one condition can always be found. They forgot where they came from." -- Carle Sandburg

"In all of us there is a hunger, marrow deep, to know our heritage - to know who we are and where we came from. Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow yearning. No matter what our attainments in life, there is still a vacuum, an emptiness, and the most disquieting loneliness." -- Alex Haley, Roots

Book It!

Does someone in your family tell jokes, use funny words, have a lot of embarrassing stories, etc? Why not celebrate it by writing a small, custom-made book just for them? Entitle it "Dad's Joke Book" or "Momish to English Dictionary" or maybe "The Perils of Polly." Make it funny and fun. Draw pictures if you are brave enough. It will double as both a gift and a small bit of history to keep and share through the years.
