I know I have told it before on some post, but one year my older brother took Mom's photo albums and my grandmother's album and scanned ALL the photos from them. He was an avid photo taker himself and had taken many photos of our family gatherings through the years. He did share discs with his siblings and Mom when he originally scanned the albums. When he passed, his son put all the photos he could find from my brother's computer and multiple external hard drives (my brother saved them in about 3 places "just in case")... onto separate hard drives and gave us each one the next Christmas. It has been amazingly fun to have computer access to all of those photos and the good thing is that if one of us loses ours somehow, there are multiple other copies that can be copied again.

Of course you would know, as my Mom is currently trying to go through a bunch of her house-load of stuff to clean out, sort, throw out and give away things, She has found another box or two of family photos that did not get in on the original scanning. I was hoping my younger brother would say that HE would take on scanning those in as well, but so far he hasn't. I will probably be hooking my scanner back up soon and I will probably offer to do it. What a pain in the rumpus ! ... but it needs to be done.

I know everyone likes different tastes in their coffees or teas, but to me this Veranda is pretty good. It doesn't hurt that as a bonus, these light roast coffees have more caffeine that the dark roasts. Gotta luv that !

It is a pain in the chuffter but it's awesome having them online or at least safe from harm. I have all of my past twenty years or so on a bloody external hard drive and I keep meaning to upload them to a cloud service. Just so that is something happens they will be there.

So I'm glad you reminded me, in doing it right now!

Happy to be of accidental help ! 😊
