I'VE DONE IT!I'VE CRACKED AND BECOME....

(Dare I say it?)... 

INSANE! 

 So I found a box of old photos and old photo albums, so I started looking through them...let me say this now 

 BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG MISTAKE!  

       “Oh this one is nice”          

              “Oo I wonder who that is?”

                     “Wow this one is really old.”                               

  “Wow look at them!”                                                        

                         “This is cool!”             

   “I wonder where that was.”    

                    “Wow that’s what the house used to look like?”

 And on it went for about a week, 21 photo album, 8 card boxes and countless loose photos later I became brilliant: 

I should scan these! 

So I began to scan…and scan and scan and scan…scanning… scanning….scanning and then just for kicks…more scanning.  Then I went a new shade of brilliant! 

I should label them! 

Then I did it again! 

I should make a copy for each of my relatives!

 YES! Ladies and gentlemen you should all be amazed by the awesome brilliance I have now displayed! It is awe inspiring I know!

Soooooo….      

Yeah…         

I know…I am … sane…many scanning's ago I was… 

       Then as if there was no more amazing brilliance to be held by one person I found something new to add to it: 

Categories 

I thought I should categorize these…all….    

        Yes I know I am brilliant…82 categories and 4000 yes 4000 pictures later and I am not done.  But wait, hold your applause my next trick will leave you…bewildered and amazed for a long, long time!

 If I categorize the originals, and copy them all on to individual flash drives for each relative and put them in a pretty little box, I can give them as Christmas presents. 

If I take all the neat family photos and make a slide show I can show it on Christmas Eve when we all gather for presents and dinner.

 I know BRILLIANT! Not only should I take on the mountain but I should look through and scan photos spanning 76 years, 8 tree branches and nameless fields of photo paper, I should give myself a time line and deadline.

  Mm hmm!

My brilliance astounds even me……………………………

Um…. I’ll let you know if I finish or…

if I will forever be buried alive under all these

memories………………………………..
