For My Children

Keeping records in photographs has been one of our family traditions. Finally there is a book that records all of the other details of life. I received the Millennium Celebration Record Book as a Christmas gift, and I will use it to record our family reunion in July. Our family has always kept records: one shelf of the closet is full of photo albums, and with this book I will have noted things that may be of interest to my descendants, and also a slice-of-life from our age in North America. In Nova Scotia, it is only 10 years since we have had to use 7 digits in the phone numbers. Now my cousin in Toronto needs to use 9 digits for a local call. All of these things change so quickly that we just don't notice. This book will help us remember what life was like.

When Are You Gonna Get Yours?

This is definetly something that everyone should have under their tree, or in their stocking. I purchased my Millenium Celebration Record Book the second I heard one of my co-workers talking about it, at our Staff Christmas party. Everyone watched in awe as it slowly made it's way around the tables, accompanied by "OOOH'S", "AAAH'S", and bursts of laughter. I received my own copy only four days ago and it is already half full. I just never realized how quickly the times were changing until I started to document the different tasks I was performing each and every day. I wonder if my grandchildren will laugh at the term "E-MAIL", as hard as I laughed when my own grandparents told me the about the new "Horse-less Buggy"! I'm sure they will love seeing exactly what a one dollar bill was too. Thank you, Shannon Rose, you have guaranteed my family years of history, in a medium that will never be a victim of technology.

A personal record, beautifully presented, a great keepsake

Finally a book that offers some fun about the Millennium. You can write down what your freinds are wearing, what they drive, how you contact them, and all the other information that will be hilarious to read in 20 years time. This book offers the opportunity to observe the trivialities of every-day-ness. Things are moving so quickly that we rarely stop to notice that - Hey, our girlfreinds are wearing sparkles on their faces or Hey, our boyfreinds are rollerblading and playing video games. Will this stuff be happening in 25 years? What a neat way to record "A Day In The Life" in the year 2000.
