Grandpa Tell Us Your Memories is a small ring bound book (perfect for little hands to hold)set up in calendar fashion with one question for each day of the year. Bob and I combined this book with 'Grandma, Tell Me Your Memories' and every morning over coffee we would review and fill in responses for one question. Not only did we have the personal pleasure of revisiting our lives as children, as young adults, as parents etc, but we had the added benefit of getting to know one another better and strengthening our marriage. Being vulnerable to each other, sharing occasional tears and lots of laughter was an unanticipated gift. Best of all your children and grandchildren are left with the beginnings of a legacy. They will follow up with their own questions - and there you are: off and running. Let me add that each book is perfectly suited for single grandparents too.
When I saw the Grandpa, Tell Me Your Memories, book as a birthday gift, I was thrilled. I'd been planning to write my autobiography, and this gave me a huge launch. I'd never thought of many of the terrific questions and topics to write about, so, thank you author, Kathleen Lashier. To put it mildly, I've had to do more research than I did in college, but it was a blast! I had remembered events, people and numbers incorrectly all of my 64 years. Oops! Now, thanks to Kathleen, I'm straightened out. The author's page layout says to write on one topic per day for a year. Sure, not me. It took about two months. I was so excited! Kathleen's book is a marvelous tool to preserve our heritage for those we care about the most. That heritage includes one's own spiritual roots, mine being Christian. My main suggestion is to put the questions in chronological order, birth to the present. We also typed it up and added photos, so our kids could have copies. THANKS AGAIN, KATHLEEN!
(review written by Nick's wife) I came across these memory books in a parenting magazine and loved the idea of having my children's grandparents fill them out. I even bought some for my grandparents to fill out for me.After searching through everything has to offer, I ended up purchasing a variety of books. I bought Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa, Tell Me Your Memories. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I really didn't think they would all be the same with a different cover page as they are. I was really disappointed in the size of the books. They are 4" x 5.5" with a 1" spiral binding. Each is about 1" thick. It is laid out for a full calendar year - each day having a different question or memory for the person do write about. The pages have a question at the top and are blank (no lines) below.The other books I decided to purchase are: A Grandparent's Legacy and Memories for My Grandchild. A Grandparent's Legacy is laid out month-by-month with topics to discuss. The book measures 8" x 5" with a nice covered spiral binding and is about .75" thick. Each page has topics to discuss and lines for writing. Memories for My Grandchild has the most flexible layout - meaning there is no guide for filling things out at a certain time. It is also the largest book, measuring about 8" x 10" and just less than 1" thick. It has a covered spiral binding. This is the only book with a pocket in the back to drop in any special items and a pull-out page to fill in the family tree. The pages in this book are lined as well.The books all cover similar questions and memories. I haven't gone page-by-page to compare, but have been pleased with what I've seen so far. Since the books are so similar, I'm basing my overall opinion on the appearance. My favorite would have to be A Grandparent's Legacy.
Anyone working on their family history will delight in this book. It presents questions to be answered by Grandpa for every day of the year. When the questions are all answered, the family historian will have a wealth of information for research and hundreds of anecdotes for the family tree. At the next family reunion encourage everyone to buy and complete the appropriate book in the series for themselves and let the historian add it to the tree..
While I like everything about this book, it was entirely too small. It is also not very sturdy. Had I known that, I would have purchased something else.
I bought this for my grandparents years ago (this one and the grandma one). Grandpa has now passed away, and the memories and stories are invaluable to me now. My whole family of parents, aunts, uncles, cousins and even my children are now lucky enough to have all of their memories written down for us.
The book looks much larger online. It is actually the size of a notebook card. Good content but trying to write in the book is hard for grandparents.
