Poesy
When I was in elementary school, it was fashion to have a "Poesy" album. I don't know an english word for that. You passed it around to your friends, school mates and family members, who would then write a little proverb, sentiment or poetry in it and decorate the opposite page with a picture. I still have mine! Here is my Mama's entry, it's dated July 6, 1969. Wow -- that is 37 years ago...She drew a sun flower for me, her favorite flower.
It always floors me when I find notes, cards or anything with her hand writing on it -- even when you're gone, your hand writing stays behind...

Oh... we used to have those poetry albums too... In Norway we called them memory books... I also have mine still.... it's good fun reading it now so many years after it was written in. I enjoyed reading about your book.

Thanks, Tonje...
I love all those mementos from my younger life. Sometimes it seems like another life completely...
