Nostalgia

For Christmas my sister got my mom a new scanner. Since the majority of the photos that my parents took for the early years of my life are on slides, she got her a scanner with a slide attachment. This week my mom has started getting to work as scanning these old photos in her collection. From what she has told me, she scans about one hundred slides each day. Some of these images are making their way to my mother's Facebook page. She started with photos from 1979 and has worked her way to 1980. I assume she will make it back before 1979 at some point. I for one really enjoy seeing these photos, such as the one of me at my seventh birthday party with the R2-D2 cake that Mom made for me. And I can not wait to see more of them, as long as she doesn't post any of the photos of my in my Underoos!

I have abandoned the easy batches in boxes labeled by year for the slides stored in "cubes." Your father had them sorted by categories as well as years...slides for Sindt side of the family, slides that would be of interest to the Eilers side, and those appropriate for either. Since they seem to be a mixed up mess,it is taking a lot longer to sort and then store since I am trying to store them in strict chronological order no matter who would be interested in viewing them!

Yeah, we don't want to see a picture of you in your Underroos either!
