When I was a little girl I was always fascinated by my Grandma's journals. She had these big orange journals that she always wrote in. One journal for each year. She wouldn't write a lot in them, just little notes about the day really. But I always loved them and wanted them. And when I was about 8 I wrote her a letter and asked her if I could have them one day. After she passed away that letter was tucked inside her journals and sure enough I got them. They now sit in my home and I love them as much today as I did when I was a little girl.
But as much as I love them I rarely open them and read them. So I have made a decision that every Friday is now flash back Friday. So each Friday I'm taking one of the journal out and reading a little bit. Since so much of my family reads my blog I thought they might enjoy Flash Back Friday too. So here are some snippets of what was happening during this week in 1979.
