Autographs

So many memories! Wanda just posted on her blog about the autograph books she kept as a child and after seeing hers I just had to find mine. I had this when I was very little, I imagine because my older siblings had them and I wanted one, too. It looks like my book was homemade, though I could have sworn it looked like Wanda's red one! Maybe one of my sisters or brother had a red one (do you guys remember?).

I love the entires that my family wrote for 4-year-old Cheri. I can still feel how excited I was to have them all sign my book. How many of these ditties do you suppose were original, and how many were widely used? I know them all well, but of course that's because I grew up reading them in my autograph book. Here's Carolyn's entry, and I think she may be the one who put the book together.
Kathi wrote this on "May 9-1/2, 1956"! She expresses true sisterly sentiments.
My mother very sweetly entered this.
And finally my brother Ray put this in my book.

Yours is pretty neat too. They bring back some great memories of people we have lost track of.
