This past weekend members of our family met for dinner at
my sister's house. Three siblings came and one brother did not. In preparation
for this get together I completed a project I started over a year ago. At that
time when we met I shared my mother's picture albums with them and they all tagged
the pictures that they wanted with their individual colored stick on tags.
Later one of my nieces also tagged the pictures that she wanted copies
digitized. Each of their pictures was filed in their scan files. When I was
finished there were over 200 pictures. I decided to give them their own
pictures and all the other picture files on a flash drive. Now those files will be saved on four
different computers besides my own and our back up hard drive. I still want to
scan the pages of most of the albums. It is a challenge to share and then
preserve the memories of our families. This is a great project for Family
History Month in preparation for Thanksgiving when we may be together with our
families. Just do it and you will be so glad that you did.
