Father's Day Gift Turned to Christmas Gifts and My Echoe Show 5 Gift

Ditas and Carenna gave me as my Father's Day gift last June- a subscription to StoryWorth Books. It is now published and happily converted into my Christmas gifts to my children and their Families. I am so delighted in how the book turned out in spite of some pictures not too clear ( as I expected).

https://welcome.storyworth.com/dad?tag=fathersday&theme=fathersday&affid=5&oid=44&source_id=google&sub1=Prospecting-DynamicSearch&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Prospecting-US+AU+NZ-DynamicSearch&source_id=google&sub1=Prospecting-US+AU+NZ-DynamicSearch&gclid=CjwKCAjwhaaKBhBcEiwA8acsHPy86TBaB5YWgjC40sxjTZVx33K7ieW-q2_Bo_WoQ2tq91TIJ6NIRBoCHRMQAvD_BwE

After completing 435 pages of writings ( my biography and other memories) and including 100 Black and White photographs, I ordered two copies at $39.99 each with free shipping. The two books, one for me and the other for Ditas arrived today. I am very pleased of now the book looked, although some of the photos are not as clear as I expected.


I have ordered 2 more books for Dodie and Dinah. It will be my Christmas present to them and their families.

I am planning to order another book with colored photos for my own library. It will cost me $99 plus shipping. It is expensive, but the book is about Memories. No amount of Money can buy Memories.

Meanwhile enjoy this:

This is what I got for my BD and Christmas from Ditas and Carenna. Love it very much. This is installed in my BR. The old version that David III gave is in our family room ( no screen).
