Senior moment

Last Friday we went to the retirement party for my old boss. We made arrangements to meet another couple I worked with and ride with them as parking was slim. I had taken my camera and had it in the car with me and wouldn't you know, when getting into their van, I left the camera..............no pictures from the party and all my old friends from work. Hopefully, one of my friends will share with me, I have my fingers crossed. I was hoping to post some pictures here, I am sure everyone is ready for new photos. It is hard to come up with new ones when we are not traveling and no Keota to take pictures of. Guess I will need to do a better job of keeping camera ready to shoot.

I have been going thru all our photo albums and pulling out photos. Started scanning them and putting them on computer then, make DVD's with them. It is quite a job, but when one is retired, we have all kinds of time. Once they are scanned, I edit them with Picasa and label all of them. I can't believe all the photos that have no writing on back to tell you who they are when they were taken. I came across this a lot when doing the old photo's of Roger's family and I don't know the people so really hard to label them. I need to get him to sit down with me and go through them with me........like that is going to happen. LOL My scanner will not work with vista and that is what I have on my lap top so I am using my desk computer to do the scanning. I was going to get rid of it, but when I found out I could not get a driver for this scanner to work with Vista, decided to keep the desk PC just for scanning. I have two computers in office running all the time, one scanning and one for my other work. I saw on QVC a while back, a small photo scanner that you can sit on couch and do your scanning while watching TV. Wow, that's what I need. I ordered it and it was great till the plastic sleeve the photos were to go in to do the scanning got streaked from going thru the scanner. After awhile the scans were a poor quality, so back to my old scanner.

I really need to get out may crafts and see what I need to make to take back down to Texas for the craft sales. I made a list of what I had before I left and I know I will need to order more beads for my sun catchers. Should do that this week as it will take a while to make out the bead order and then have them mailed to me. The rest of the things I can do as I want, but the beads need to be ordered. Not sure about the craft sales in Texas, I like doing them, but it seems I don't really sell that much, wondering if it is worth it. But for those of you who know me, I love doing my crafts and I need to keep busy.

Not much more news around Stanwood, I go for my 2 mile walk in the mornings then stay in where it is cool and work on my computer and some house work and crafts. What more can I say. Happy Trails to everyone and stay cool and stay safe.
