The pictures I scanned yesterday were all of people related to my mom. And some of mom herself. I scanned at least 40 images. I think some of them might have been duplicates. A few had some writing on them, either front or back or in some cases both. They really liked their goats! I opened up the box that I found the album on top of and discovered many more photo albums from that era and before! Sadly, it doesn’t seem like any of the pictures are labeled at all. I am not going to digitize those right now because I don’t know who would look at them and have any clue who those people were. But I may digitize them someday and put them up online and see if anyone can identify any of the people in the them. Instead, I am going to look for more modern pictures and digitize some of those. I hope to find pictures of the current and previous generation. And maybe the next generation. In other words, pictures of my mom and dad, their kids and their kid’s kids. Here’s hoping!
So far this morning, I have again accomplished some good things. Most of which have been campaign related.
It is afternoon now. I ate leftovers for lunch. And will have left over pasta for dinner tonight I think. Though, on second thought, I think I will have breakfast for dinner instead and save the pasta for later in the week. Much better plan.
At some point tonight, I will digitize the more modern pictures I have found. I think they are from around 1998 if I had to guess. Some family Christmas pictures, some pictures of some road trip. And some pictures of one of my exes and our dog. And some pictures that don’t have people in them that probably won’t be digitized at this point. Certainly not all of them. There are around 90 pictures in this album. I think I will digitize about half – which is about how many I digitized yesterday.
I’ve gone flannel. I decided to start putting flannel sheets on the bed again for the winter season. Starting with a penguin set that I believe my lovely sister gave me one Christmas. Yay sheets!
Speaking of Christmas, it looks like I will be heading to Maine this year for that holiday! Huzzuh!! Back in time for New Years as SM is tentatively planning a New Year’s Eve party of some sort.
Augustus for President: I have gone through the database of thoughts once. I created a second layout so I can hopefully do some cleanup and re-categorizing and condensing and deleting where it makes sense. I love Filemaker so much!!
I did a draft of my letter to the governors for the trip in February. I will try to get that in the mail in early January. I wonder if I should email it and snail mail it. That will be determined later, I guess. I also drafted a form, like the form I used for “And the Pursuit of Happiness” trip I did back in 2002. This one has four questions instead of just the one. Basically the same questions I will be asking the governors with a tweak for people who aren’t politicians.
My first draft poster for possible meet-ups is in my folder now. I will let it rest for a bit before revisiting it.
Lastly, I updated the survey page. Though I have discovered something distressing and haven’t figured out what is happening. People have said that they have answered the surveys but for some reason their answers aren’t showing up. No idea why that is happening. I guess before I start my tour in February I will have to pay for a survey site subscription. Poo.
