Feeling old

I scanned another tray of my dad's slides recently. He took hundreds of slides starting sometime in the 1960s and continuing until he died in 1996. I bought a scanner with a slide attachment a couple years ago with the intention of scanning them all as soon as possible, but of course I didn't. It's a time consuming process, and I've never been noted for my patience.

It's been kind of an odd experience, going through the slides and realizing that at the time the Old Man took them, he was considerably younger than I am now.

    He had a weakness for rainbows. That one just happened to be over our house in the summer of '71.

    No, it's not over the house, it's behind the house on top of the outhouse. hahahaha

    I'm so damn old I don't even care anymore, I'm just leaving my old box of pictures spanning forty or more years to others to deal with, or not.

    That's where the pot of gold is, or some kind of pot.

    Eventually I plan to have all the slides scanned and then will burn DVDs for my sisters and kids. They deserve to wallow in nostalgia occasionally, too.
