Scanning


Today was a nice, quiet day. I took Sophie with me in the car for a trip to the bank and post office. She's never been fond of riding in the car for some reason, but these short little trips seem to help. Going more than 5 miles away seems to make her nervous.


The last couple of weeks I have been scanning old photos and loading them into Memory Manager. I take time to edit them and make them look better. Then I sort them by person in virtual folders and the software organizes them by date. It's actually kind of fun. Here is an OLD photo of me and my brothers. I'd be about 4 in this photo. Jim is on the left and he is about 18 months and Dale is on the right. He is about 6 months. I think this is in the big white house with pillars on the front of it in Roseau. We lived on the upper level. These old photos sure make me think and try to remember those days. Sometimes I haven't got an inkling of a memory and other times it will bring a flood of memories.
I still have a lot of old photos to scan. I want to scan all of the old photos my mom and dad had stashed away and those my sister, Barb, had taken of us with her polaroid camera. It's a tedious job, but once it's done I would like to make a StoryBook with our CM software.
