Update of the day:
Today, I literally spent half the day scanning in old pics. I have been planning to do it for a while, but the thought of putting aside hours to do it, just didn't seem feasible! So today, I just started. Finished up some work, and set aside a few hours to do this. I hope to do it everyday until my project is complete, but I will be happy to get in a few sessions a week. Fingers crossed, prayers said, time allotted.....we will see!
Mom has been delivering all of us (me, Brent, and Kenny) boxes of old pics that she has acquired from both Gramma & Papa's house as well as old albums of hers that she has consolidated. It is hard though, because even though Brent's pics might be mostly of him...that was still my life too...same with Kenny. So, I decided in my spare time, I am going to scan in ALL of the pics for all of us to have...so we can share them all. I want all mine digital anyways, and want "copies" of theirs too...so decided I needed to just scan everything. It also reminded me that I have boxes of albums and pics hidden in my closet that I should probably scan in at some point too. I love having hard copies and being able to dip into those every once in a while...LOVE my old albums...as they are snapshots in time, literally, album and all....but what happens when they fade, or god-forbid there is a fire...or something else happens to them. This way, they are digitally saved on my computer AND on our backup "cloud" drive I just installed in our house...which is also backed up randomly on an external drive that goes in the fire safe. Paranoid you say, YES! But since I have billions of pics, of our entire family and our trips, and parties and events, and LIFE....YES, the pressure is on to maintain it all....SAFELY. So, I have it all backed up, and that is also backed up. I hope that is enough!!?? Maybe I should make a backup of the backup??? Thoughts anyone?? Opinions and recommendations appreciated....
