January ~

February ~
Clean-up time ... I was dusted yesterday and put in my place.  My owner did use me for a few minutes last week.  He had been in an argument and was looking up some references to prove he was right.

March ~
Had a busy day first of the month.  My owner was elected President of the PTA and used me to prepare a speech.

April ~
Grandpa visited us this month.  He kept me on his lap for an hour reading from 1 Peter 5:5-7.  He seems to think more of me than do some people in my own household.

May ~
I have a few green stains on my pages.  Some spring flowers were pressed between my pages.

June ~
I look like a scrapbook.  They have stuffed me full of newspaper clippings - one of the girls got married.

July ~
They put me in a suitcase today.  I guess we are off on vacation.  I wish I could stay home; I know I'll be closed up in this thing for at least two weeks.

August ~
Still in the suitcase.

September ~
Back home at last and in my old familiar place.  I have a l ot of company.  Two women's magazines and four comic books are stacked on top of me.  I wish I could be read as much as they are.

October ~
They read me a little bit today.  Someone in the house is very sick.  Right now I am sitting in the center of the coffee table.  I think the Pastor is coming by for a visit.

November ~
Back in my old place.  Somebody asked today if I were a scrapbook.

December ~
The family is busy getting ready for the holidays.  I guess I'll be covered up under wrapping paper and packages again ... just as I am every Christmas.  Oh well, at least I'll be read again for a couple of weeks next month.
