I particularly love the ones that have little drawings and water color painting in them.

Wish I was there to look at them with you. I do remember autograph books in the 50's. I loved them, had my own, and signed may a friend's. You brought back a memory that I had forgotten. Thank you so much for that.<BR/>CaroleCarolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12702648129128386932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992383084821899295.post-29244875706595236122008-02-28T20:10:00.000-05:002008-02-28T20:10:00.000-05:00Beautiful post and lovely sentiment Susan.
