Look out! It's the weekend!!
I have four kids frolicking in the pool just now, and so it is momentarily blissfully silent inside the house. I'm going back and forth between working here at the computer (and doing e-comm stuff) and working on my living room project.
As you may recall, I started a push back in March to completely re-derange everything. That ran a little slow because of the knee problems, but I have been slowly pecking away at it.
On Wednesday, I finally got down to the last layer on the old fainting couch (circa 20s or 30s, we think), and pulled the removable half of the top off. I had vaguely remembered there were some pictures stored in there, but oh, my, what a treasure trove I found! It was like a time portal back to the 80s and 90s, and in a few cases, even earlier!
There are pictures of Mike as a baby (including his newborn shot!), ditto my grandson Zach, photos of the three big kids when they were all still at home, long lost but not forgotten pets, a boatload of tae kwon do events, plus some even older, like my 24th and Damaris's 4th birthday.
We think maybe the batch of those pics were some that were Damaris's that she left with us for safekeeping at some point, for some forgotten reason. This is wonderful because about, oh, 10 or 1l years ago we had the first of several basement floods (this one caused by the hot water tank breaking) and I lost almost my entire collection of photographs. So these few non-lost ones are now extra special.
I am going to experiment with making copies by using my digital camera. I do HAVE a scanner, but it's old, and I don't have any desk space for it, and blahblahblahlazycakes. I will try very hard not to pic spam you all into gibbering madness. Or no more so than any of you already might be.
