Another day down, and I've spent tons of time surfing other blogs, messing around with my settings, and wishing I had my former 'computer wiz kid' brain, because the one the aliens switched out and left me with isn't workin' too hot these days. Things are simple enough, after I go into my saved photos and alter the size so once I try to put in into the header it's not taking over half the screen. Hmmm, I'll mess with it later. I sat here an hour and a half ago, enjoying that I had the quiet house ALL to myself -- nothing to interrupt me. Yeah, nothing to smack me upside the head to tell me to get off the computer because I'm doing the LONG BLINK (funny, why did the clock change from 11:12 to 11:14 in one blink? hmmm.)
So, I tend to go thru these times of looking back and enjoying old photos. I've always loved to take pictures, still do. I remember heading off to youth conference one year, and someone asked me how many rolls of film I'd brought with me. Only 6. I answered simply. (for 3 days of events....never enough...lol.) "Only?" with a chuckle was the normal response. I was used to it. I'll have to say though, once those rolls of film were developed, I don't recall the laughter being anything other then enjoyment over the memories captured.
With the way everyone has a camera on their phone, and all the digital stuff so there's SO little to carry around, I think it's great to have a better way to capture and enjoy frozen moments/memories in time.
Now -- if only I'd remembered to mark who the heck was IN all those photos?? Hmm. As much as I wish I had a slide scanner, I doubt it'll happen any time soon. My sewing machine died and we had to replace it. Seeing my birthday is next week, that sort of ended up my part birthday present. Bummer huh? No! -- wait --- I LOVE to sew, so it's not a bummer that I got a new machine. I'll just have to save for the scanner. I'm good with that.
ANYWAY..... I'll scan what photos I still have a print of and post them little by little. I hope those of you IN the photos that have found your way over to my simple, new little blog will not be unhappy with future postings. For me, these are snapshots of the people and memories that I've held tightly to for many many years, and have helped me not give up on people thru lots of hard times. I had great people in my life, and I love learning little by little, where some have had their life path lead. Oh, and if you know people in the photos, I may have to ask for some to be Identified so I can go back and write it down....at last. I look and I remember the person, but gosh darn it I have NO brain for holding onto names anymore.
Here's to future picture postings :o).
Oh, and I was asked what other Projects I've done. I'll scrounge up some of those photos to scan as well. I think it'll be easier to know what to write about if people just start asking stuff here and there.

So, what kind of machine did you get? And, how did you get that alone time? I guess just because it was past bedtime!
ReplyDeleteI've heard a theory about what happens to your brain AFTER having your fifth child. It definitely happened to me. Sounds like you qualify too! :)
I got a singer (model number escapes me). Alone time happens prior to 5:30am or after 9pm...if and only if my oldest actually goesto bed at 9 - eh hem, IF -- and if noone is sleep walking. I'm down to only one doing that, and not too often anymore.
ReplyDeleteAs for the brain, the parts of it that choose to work properly after having each child was sort of funny. Now I think it's more-so related to the fact I don't sleep enough AND my older kids have gotten into this thing of waiting to do anything until Mom says so...so since I'm apparently thinking FOR them, what's left over to still be working for me? Whew, it ain't much, lemme tell ya. Still, it's all good in the end.
