Dear Christie,
I came across this old book, which
appears to be some sort of calendar. The word Kreftelig
probably explains what type of calendar it is, but I never learned any
Norwegian. When I was scanning old family photos, I found this book. I
carefully preserved all of the old photos, but somehow overlooked this item. My
son expressed a lack of interest, and no emotional ties to anything. I find
this distressing, but everyone is entitled to their own priorities.
I asked her if she would like to have it, and she said yes, so
tomorrow, I will put this in the mail for her. I don’t trust the USPS,
and it would be a tragedy if this book were lost, so I spent four hours
carefully scanning every page. I was hoping to replicate the feeling of
actually holding this treasure in your own hands. It is incredibly fragile, and
scanning it was a difficult job, and I was afraid to apply enough pressure to
insure scans which are in focus, and some pages are a little fuzzyJ, but, now it is
preserved forever. If Christie thinks I need to add to this, I welcome her
suggestions.
