Yes, we still use one of those to keep track of contact information of family members. I know that we can plug these in our smart phones, but for some reason we find it better to have all these in our mailing station in my husband's home office. We just use a simple one, nothing fancy or anything special about it. I guess you can say we are old-fashioned, preferring the traditional pen and paper than electronic tools for organization. For some reason, I like how, over the years, we cross out old addresses and added the updated ones when family and friends move. It's like looking back and keeping track of records. I guess I am a sentimental fool for finding some sort of fascination over hand written records of addresses and contact information. For instance, a cousin of my husband used to live in California for decades. Now, they have been living in Alaska for the past five years. That in itself poses lots of questions from me, which is a good conversation starter. Also, we have one of his relatives who has changed spouses for four times it is a bit funny to find that beside his name are crossed out names of his exes. I am not saying that I find broken relationships funny, it's the fact that this small square piece of paper houses lots of stories than what I could have known in a conversation.
