JANUARY
A busy time for me. Most of the family decided to read me through this year. They kept me busy for the first two weeks, but they have forgotten me now.
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 in 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.
SEPTMBER
Back home at last and in my old familiar place. I have a lot 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. One of them 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 & packages again...just as I am every Christmas.
