JANUARY: A busy time for me. Most of the family
decided to read me through this year. They kept me busy for the first
2 weeks, but they have forgotten me now.
FEBRUARY: Clean-up time. I was dusted yesterday and put in my place.
My owner did use me for a few minutes last week. He had been in an
argument and was looking up some references to prove he was right.
MARCH: I had a busy day the first of the month. My owner was elected
president of the P.T.A., and he used me to prepare a speech.
APRIL: Grandpa visited us this month. He kept me on his lap for an
hour reading 1 Corinthians 13. He seems to think more of me than do
some people in my own household.
MAY: I hae a few green stains on my pages. Some spring flowers were
pressed in my pages.
JUNE: I look like a scrapbook. They have stuffed me full of newspaper
clippings - one of the girls was married.
JULY: They put me in a suitcase today. I guess we are off on vacation.
I wish I could stay home; I know I'll be closed up in this thing for
at least 2 weeks.
AUGUST: Still in the suitcase.
SEPTEMBER: Back home at last and in my old familiar place. I have a
lot of company. Two women's magazines and four comic books are stacked
on top of me. I wish I could be read as much as they are.
OCTOBER: They read me a little bit today. One of them is very sick.
Right now I am sitting in the center of the coffee table. I think the
pastor is coming by for a visit.
NOVEMBER: Back in my old place. Somebody asked today if I am a
scrapbook.
DECEMBER: The family is busy getting ready for the holidays. I guess
I'll be covered up under wrapping paper, and packages again - just as
I am every Christmas.
