Creatively Frugal Recorded
Memories
"What tips and tricks do you have for recording your family memories
without spending a fortune? Any video- or audio-recording tips are fair
game."
"Yesterday my husband and I celebrated another
wedding anniversary. To start the day as we drove to a
meeting out-of-town, we listened to the tape of our
wedding ceremony, which included our voicing our
memorized vows to one another. We were
smiling and squeezing each other all the way to our
destination! What a sacred and precious memory! At the
end of each anniversary day, on tape my husband and
I tell about that special day and a short
summary of our past year, having begun this on our first
anniversary. Last night was our 43rd! It's a neat
reflection of married life from beginning to the
present! When Phil, our six-year-old, came
home from school after his first day in 1st
grade, I let him have the recorder to talk into, telling
all about his day. At that time Phil had difficulty
pronouncing his F's, because of his tongue needing
clipping (unbeknown to us at the time). This tape
is invaluable and such a treasure for our lawyer son.
Another time when our 5-year-old daughter, Maggie, had
to miss Sunday services because of chicken pox, I let
her have the recorder to talk into. I left the room. My,
my, my what a powerful salvation sermon Maggie preached.
I wouldn't take all the money in the world for it!"
