Its been a busy day
We have been scanning family photos since March 21st, about then. We scanned 4 albums of 50 pages, double sided. the count at that time was, approx. 970 pictures, plus news paper clippings, death notices, birth announcements, etc. Close to 1050 documents. Now we are doing more of the same and the count on pics alone is around 1225. There is a box of stuff yet to go through as well as two foot lockers and a file cabinet..
Once I get it all scanned, I/we will go back to where I stopped, about 672, and add names etc to each photo. All of this is to keep our family history intact and with our genology that my mom started and worked on till her death in 1996. Lots has been done and yet lots more to do. Probably more to scan than has been scanned. There is work to do on the road.
We will be here till about the 15th so my brother can go to his grandaughters 16th birthday. We will be house sitting their 3 dogs and 3 cats. Then its off to Pecos to see the family farm of 15 or 30 acres. We will know more once we get to the county court house's. I say that plural as the property is in two counties. We will stay at the Escapee park there. Our first time at their parks. But not the last as we will be going thru "The Ranch" and making a stop there as we head north.
