At the present time I have well over 2.000 pictures on my computer. I have no more family albums. As I scanned I distributed the photos to the family members that wanted them. Some were discarded in the trash can.
If you are wondering about the topic of this post, this coming Sunday June 3rd marks a very special day in our family. I have been hunting through pictures trying to find the perfect ones to use in a post that I will be doing on Sunday. My sister Rae has been helping me by sending me some pictures that she had.

Yesterday my daughter and I ate at Grumpy Pete’s aka 8th Street Station aka Frankie G’s. We loved the buffet there while it was 8th Street Station. Yesterday was the first time to try Frankie G’s cuisine. It was not bad although it was expensive for what you got. Definitely we will not go there again.
I have cleaning to do so this is it for today. Stay safe and be happy!!

In case you are wondering, as I scanned the pictures into computer I put them on DVDs so that I would have them.
ReplyDeleteHi Beth
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this, I am sure it will help others. Look forward to your post on Sunday and maybe seeing some of those photos.
Hugs Nita.
I think I have double copies of cd's I've put pictures on, not to mention flash drives. Pictures bring wonderful memories and memories are very therapeutic. Can't wait to see your post.
ReplyDeleteRemember you can put them in a cloud for free (if they aren't too large of files) so if something happens to your computer, they'll still be there! I keep mine of a clip that is in my folder of important papers that I can grab up in case of an emergency. Love all those old photos and would hate to lose them. Can't wait until Sunday's photo show!
ReplyDeleteOur good memories sustain us when we have lost someone dear to us. Thankfully, your memories are good.
ReplyDeleteOne of our daughters preaches "back up your files!" I'm sure you have done that.:)
Have a happy Wednesday, Beth!
I should have read through all the comments before I left mine.:) I could use your expertise here as I am attempting to transfer some pictures from the computer to a CD.:)
ReplyDeleteI will be glad to help if you need it Nellie. I use a DVD as a CD doesn't hold nearly as many photos. I use the Nero Start Smart that I have loaded on my computer.
ReplyDeleteI have a box of pictures that I'm meaning to scan, but just don't find time to do it. Glad you were able to get yours done and can enjoy them online now. You go girl!
ReplyDeleteThat was good advise Beth. And it probably needed to be done anyway. Thanks for sharing and as ever, I enjoy reading your blogs even though I do not blog myself anymore. So glad you do! Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI know grief as most of us do and my heart still embraces yours, Twin.
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to you. It is a hard and emotional task you took on but probably did you a world of good. He will always be in your heart and memories. I'm sending you hugs.
ReplyDeleteTime heals all wounds, & yes it will get better with time...
ReplyDeleteLovely Beth good advice to , glad you had a lunch at Grumpy Pete's that's me laugh, love that name.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week hope the sun shines for you.
Hugs Sheila and Wile-e xx
Sounds like that was a good way to deal with your grief.
ReplyDeleteGoing thru all the photos is a HUGE job. I give you a lot of credit for doing it. I'll be anxious to hear what you and your sister have "cooked up."
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how many photos I have in my laptops..not nearly enough on thumb drives I do know that.I sure wish I had some of the ones I had to throw out on my computer though.. I did remember to take digitals of some of them though. Hope the remainder of your week goes well. XXOO
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I understand the feelings about pictures and memories. They are precious and deeply embedded in who we are. Enjoy! BGB
ReplyDeleteIt's so great that you found a way to deal with your grief. Sometimes we can become our own best therapists. Thanks for this thought-provoking post.
ReplyDeleteI tried to comment before but it wouldn't let me...seems it sorted things out now...I'm sure glad! I have that feeling going through pictures too...it really is a powerful thing. My wife has worked for many years at a scrapbooking store and even helps people make books of their own...it's a very important thing for people and I appreciate the power of that. Bless you my friend.
ReplyDeleteI've had my new printer for a year--maybe longer--and have never learned how to use the scanner. My old printer I had for eleven years was an "as is" printer and the scanner never worked from day one, so I have never done it. I want to scan all my photos. Maybe this winter. (I said that this last winter--LOL!)
ReplyDeleteI can see where it would be very therapeutic to go through all the old photos and memories. And what a wonderful thing to be able to send pictures off to people who wanted them, too. It had to be hard, though. *hugs*
Oh man I hate places that over charge :(.
ReplyDeleteI so need to scan and also put pictures on CD's. I can't wait to read the upcoming post and the picture you choose!
Hope you're having a fab day, I'll always have a piece of cake for you :)
A good job and well done Beth, I keep promising myself I too will do that, I got as far as buying new albums and giving them names, Family, Arlene [daughter] Karen [daughter], grandchildren, dogs, etc they all have their own, but I too think I should do your 'Labour of Love' and computerise them. keep strong and you'll beat them blues.
