A Photo Project, Lunch Out and Happy Saturday!

 

Happy Saturday!

Other than the pictures on 4th of July,

I haven't taken many photos this week.

In fact, one of the things I've been working on this week has been the never-ending task of deleting unwanted photos off my phone and computer.

When I started deleting things, it made me very aware of how many photos I take and just how many

I can realistically put in photo albums, which is my goal.

So I have been brutally deleting photos and at some point

down the line, I will start making some albums with the remaining photos.

Awhile back I bought a scanner and sorted through all of the printed photos I have

and still need to pare those down even further. 

As I've been working on this photo project,

I've tried to keep in mind the old photo albums

that we grew up with and what seemed important

at the time.

I remember flipping through and seeing mostly birthdays,

holidays, some pets, special occasions and pictures

of families in front of a car or house.

I want to make albums that the grandkids can flip through and 

see the special days we had. 

Now that I think of it, my mom has boxes of photos that

aren't being enjoyed by anyone. They're in a box!

On the other hand, when my dad and stepmom passed away,

they had an overload of pictures that had to be sorted through

and it became a burden to have to go through them and store them.

I want to do better and I want to sit on the floor and look through albums

with my babies and introduce them to people in their family

or remind them of cute things they did at certain ages.

I don't want to store my pictures in a box,

only to have someone go through them when I'm gone.

What's the point of that?

In other news...

Yesterday I had lunch with my friend Kim.

We met at Goodwill and found some thrifty things,

then sat for an early lunch and lots of chatting.

We ended our few hours together with each taking home a

box of Crumble Cookies.

Those are always a treat and few and far between.

Today I am doing an early morning grocery pick up for the week

and fixing a meal for some friends we haven't seen in a few months.

That means we'll be busy cleaning and cooking

until they get here.

It's been a busy week!

But a good one filled with family and friends.

I hope you've had a great one!

See you soon

😁

Until Next Time...

Blessings!
