Wow! How cool are these diaries. As a fellow avid consumer of information, I also love connecting the dots. The images really help tie it all together. Thank you for sharing Lisa!

Wow. Thanks Lorraine. I was just thinking maybe too brave and I should take it down. I didn't get an email that you'd replied. Thank you so much!

No way! This is a work of art! I bet there are a lot of really interesting connections throughout those journals for a thriller or a mystery or just a great adventure novel!

Interesting you say that. W. Somerset Maugham said a writer must fling themselves at adventure, not wait for the adventure to come to them. I truly know I did that early and for a long time. I pushed myself into crevices few would have thought inhabitable. A crevice doesn't sound like adventure, though, does it?

The crevice (crevace in French) is the ultimate dare!

Very brave post. 👏 I think many kids have problems with their names. I did as well.

There is an encyclopedia of material (all you) in those journals that you can use to write from now. 🙏

Thank you for the insight and the compliment! The wisdom we have when young, so often we get talked out of for other's convenience.
