So, for Grandma and Grandpa for Christmas, I thought it would be nice to do what I am calling "The Story Project." When I am over on Saturdays (and any other time) I will record them sharing their memories, experiences, stories, poems, you name it. Not only will it be neat for me to hear these stories from them, but I thought it would only be right and good to share them with everyone, to have them for a long time for us to listen to whenever. The way I see it, it's a gift from me to me, from me to gma and pa, from me to you, and from gma and pa to all of us.
Here is where I need your help:
What do YOU want to hear about? The freezing fishing trip, Grandma growing up in Kanab, their favorite vacation. Really, anything. Reply to this post or email me (Jessica) with your requests.
My plan is to put the recordings/interviews up on this blog (somehow...) and also create a CD of them to give to everybody. I hope that everyone enjoys these special stories-we are so blessed by Grandma and Grandpa and all of our wonderful family.
Teaser: I already recorded about 50 mins of conversation today. Stay tuned- I will have the mp3s up ASAP.

Nice idea -- count me in!
Way to go Jessica, great idea. I don't have any requests just anything from their life. Ooo yeah I'm so excited... and you are awesome!
Great idea Jess! I love to hear about what they did for fun as kids, and I love to hear about ways of life that were way different than it is now...like traveling, preparing meals, and just work. I'd also like to hear about Grandpa's war experiences. He is quiet about his service to the country in WWII, and I'd like to know how he felt joining the Navy knowing he was going to war, and any experiences he'd like to share. I'd also like to hear about how they got engaged, and early married life. Thanks for thinking of this!
