THANKFUL THURSDAY ~ THE DAYTIMER

I guess I'm a bit "old school", having toted around this old leather daytimer now since my college and early work days.  The same one, for 58-years!  It's still in good shape, in spite of scratches and dings on the leather and I still love it, of course changing out the inserts each year, saving the old pages for a year or two, sometimes wishing I'd saved all 58-years-worth!  Sure, there have been calendars and addresses and notes saved on newer tech ~ tech that has crashed, long before there was a "cloud" saving it, or maybe not backed up on a hard drive, oops!  But there's my old reliable paper daytimer.  And that old flip cell phone, couldn't seem to transfer what was "saved", oops again, paper to the rescue. Please bury it with me, so I'll have my contacts!

Getting up for a fresh cup of coffee yesterday morning, early, checking the blogs, JUNE on the table as always alongside ... the ever curious cat decided to check our schedule for the day.  Wonder if she was able to flip to her JUNE in JUNE month?

Thankful for my daytimer and the kitty who keeps it up to date.

  1. who knew June can read? to cute, I was prepared to hear she clawed or pawed your pages but all she did was check on her page. I had one like this, a really nice one they gave to me years ago at work, I just could not get used to using it. I do use a wall calander and keep them for 6 or 7 years. everything goes on there, and the address book or I should say contact book lives in the drawer. same thing but not in one place.. I don't trust having only what is in the cloud, if the cloud goes down then what. I also keep the phone book for just in case, although I have forgotten how to use it

  2. That is awesome! Mom has always had wall calendars. We still have one every year with special days noted like birthdays and anniversaries, but appts are not all on the digital calendar. Your leather planner is truly special and all the marks and scratches make it all the more special.

  4. If June bit any pages, those puncture marks will live forever.

  5. Hubby still has his too, but doesn't use it the same as when he was working. Each year he'd get the next years calendar and off he'd go. This made me smile.

    Have a fabulous Thankful Thursday. ♥

  8. What a treasure trove you have there, Ann! I don't blame you for keeping the daytimer. It's so much more than that, really. And June, you are such a nosy little Parker (even though your last name isn't Parker). So cute!

  14. June, you are a great assistant to the ZH.. Our Mom has a similar daytimer too and she loves hers as well. But lately she seems to find herself relying more on her iPhone calendar to keep dates straight. What she really likes is being able to set an alert for a day or a week before the event.

  15. My momma uses her Lilly Pulitzer planners every year - she likes having a physical "thing" instead of just a phone or computer schedule.

  16. The older the product, the better it works (From Foley, Pocket and River Song)

  19. Sometimes, nothing beats paper for lasting a lifetime. Or printed photos. Or passwords saved on paper because paper can't be hacked. We notice that June is pushing something open by nose. Lori does the same thing. Her nose is almost like a paw to her.
