I recently went through the thousands of slides we took back in the 80's. Then I bought a gadget to turn them into digital images, but most of the quality is gone after so many years. Good on you to be going through that bag--enjoy your month full of memories!<br />tmorneryswifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13702378853361498700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-75879844097445754632013-04-03T00:02:02.442-04:002013-04-03T00:02:02.442-04:00Oh, my goodness.

I actually managed to put the early years (1974 - 1993) into albums back in 1993.

I really love reading about other mother's and their experiences with motherhood. I often remind myself that I need to remember to be present in the now, instead of tucked behind a camera lens.

Since I am a grandma, my collection is way beyond yours. Some of the photos make me cry, as I see my late parents and brothers as healthy young people.<br /><br />Thanks for your post.

Now I am so behind (although you have made me feel better). I miss the days of the imperfect photo.

I have boxes and boxes and bags and envelopes and more in weird little places. Years and years of life stuffed in boxes (OK, there are a few albums, but not many). I am always going to do it, but it just never seems to happen. Like you I get lost in the memories and hours go by. How right you are, nothing was perfect at the time, but the memories and the moments are. Soo glad I am following you now, I know I am going to enjoy it!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09836655708421528876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-36063442501757778702013-04-02T16:04:17.841-04:002013-04-02T16:04:17.841-04:00LOL...you have a bag, I have a closet!
