I’m in Lubbock visiting my sister this week. It has finally occurred to me why she always calls me to see if I have people’s addresses. She has had this address book for over 40 years and when she receives someone’s address, she tucks that piece of paper in the book, she doesn’t write the new address down. It would take a full day scrutinizing every piece of paper to find an address and honestly it might not be the current address. I know there are some long lost addresses in this book, maybe SOMEDAY I will help her organize it (maybe I won’t, smile). Family! This for the word today - journal
This looks very similar to the one I have although mine is not quite as packed as hers! I do try and keep mine a little bit more updated. It made a fabulous photo for you!
Ooh my !! what a quandary- finding any thing , let alone in a hurry would be impossible -- Good luck if you go and help your sister , I think it would be easier to just answer her phone-calls with the addresses ! 🤣
@ludwigsdiana@marylandgirl58@illinilass@grammyn@kwind@ziggy77@beryl thank you so much. You all understand! This is as much a scrapbook as it is an address book. Whole letters and note cards are tucked in it. I’m not sure there will ever be a time anyone in the family will want to sort this, ha ha!
Oh my goodness.. this makes my address book very well organized.. looking for a address the other day.. oh they have shifted.. they have past.. must update..
That’s such a funny story. I have three address books, one ancient , one not so ancient & one newer but I never get round to deleting old ones & putting present addresses in the latest one. Our family seem to move about a lot so there are many crossings out. So sorry to read about the terrible flood tragedy in Texas Lou Ann.
you know, thank god for scanners and cameras. i just take a photo and file a copy under "addresses" in my hard drive. although admittedly, i still keep the addresses in my address book which looks exactly like this. 🤣
I have a mixed collection of recorded addresses and slips of paper with addresses in my address book too. I even have a new address book to consolidate it all- but no interest in doing so! haha Nice memory and shot- and yes, I am glad to not be in the heat of Texas right now (although PA can have its own when it wants!).
@julzmaioro@bigmxx@carole_sandford@summerfield@olivetreeann@sangwann@mittens thank you all so much, it’s been fun to read about all of your assorted ways to keep up with addresses. I have a Rolodex, and I have managed to keep my addresses reasonably current. Scratching through old addresses and adding new ones on my friend's Rolodex cards. I also keep addresses in my iPhone contacts. So we each just plod along and do the best we can!
