What an afternoon.

[Mr.Bill]

The wife and I just spent hours going through literally about 75 lbs of my family's photos and other memorabilia, dating back to the 40s. I never had biological children, but my niece is coming up from Arizona to visit and I wanted to pass things along to her and her kids.

So basically, I just viewed my family's life in several hours. I kept the few I wanted, but now they will be in the custody of a younger generation. I've never really been a camera person, but fortunately my mom was. Lots of good memories.

1. So nice you did this.

I had a Great Uncle who held the family archives dating back 150 years, including some very early home movies (1900ish). When he died my idiot Cousin threw it all away without asking any relatives if they'd take it. So much lost.

2. What a lovely thing you are doing.

[Mr.Bill]

3. I've got all the home movies, too.

That's another project for another day.
