Week 3 My Life One Dessert At A Time
WOW!! Welcome back. You should have a few fun pages by now. Just think if we keep this up in one year we will have more than 36 interesting things to share with those who follow us. If we have 15 grand babies, and they each have 3 kids who each have 3 kids… there will be 195 of our direct descendants in 3 generations. And given the fact that we are LDS those are fairly conservative numbers!
Week 3:
1. Childhood vacation memories. Same thing every year or different? Outstanding memories?
2. Grandparents home memories - where did they live? What did the home look like? Certain smell? Certain memories?
3. List for the back of the book - All time 10 ten favorite movies (See week one for directions on back of the book lists)

MY LIFE STORY ONE DESSERT AT A TIME
Welcome to MY LIFE!!
Tonight we begin a fun journey of sharing our life with those we love! My favorite “Life Stories” are those with a “voice.” My aunts story reads just as she would tell the stories out loud. I hear her voice in my head as I read. She didn’t worry about proper grammar or spelling, she just recorded her story - I suggest you follow her example and write just as you would talk. Let your voice be recorded on the pages. If the questions stir a different thought or memory - record that!! It will mean more to you than reporting on what you were “assigned.”
Tonight’s Thoughts………
1. What is your earliest childhood memory - include as many details as you can.
2. Describe a typical family dinner (during your childhood)
3. LIST - “My mom always said…” & “My dad always said…” **see below**
4. Research homework - Learn & be prepared to record how your parents met
**LIST** Flip to the back 2 pages of your notebook. We will be working from the back forward on the lists. It is something you will think of sporadically, and then you can just jot it in. Some will be “works in progress” (Like top 10 lists) Some will show deep incite to who you are, without any story telling. Some will just be amusing to your descendants. Do you know I always say the same thing my mom always says, which her mom always said?!! “If not me, who? If not now, when?”
