memory lane

My mother-in-law has embarked on a project of epic proportions. She is scanning all of her photos from decades of photo albums and is converting them into digital pictures. So far, she's scanned over 900 photographs! I think she started with pictures of her in her single days and right now she's gotten as far as around the time Mitch and I got married.

She inspired me to hunt around for my own family pictures. I remembered that my father had taken a lot of slides when we were growing up, so I asked my mom recently if she knew where any of the carousels were stored. Well, she found one and gave it to me and just this past week, I started converting some of my childhood pics into digital images! It's a treasure for me because my kids had no idea what my sisters and I looked like when we were children. And, boy, were we cute! :) I have the pics to prove it and hope to post one or two in my next post. So stay tuned (or, at the very least, be forewarned! ;)
