Past Due Thanks



Last night I read the rest of my 2002 Olympic volunteer scrapbook entries mixed in with pictures from those games. The last entry that I wrote stated, "It (being a volunteer) was an incredible experience for me and I'm grateful for two daughters that are very excited about scrapbooking and have encouraged me to keep 'everything I find' so that they can help me do a scrapbook documenting my experience."

Eight years later, I am again grateful for the encouragement from Natalie and Nicole to put my memories into scrapbook form. I also want to thank my mom for the idea of sending out an email to family and friends documenting each day's activities as a volunteer. Those emails are now my Olympic Scrapbook dialog.

Those olympics were a great treat for you. Glad you were able to do it and that you now can review the memories with your scrapbook.
