Copying Pictures

Coker, Alabama

Weather: low 61 degrees, high 91 degrees, clear skies

The nice weather continued today, with lower humidity and enough of a breeze that the temperature was not bad. It was another day of almost no work, which was fine with us.

As part of the process of Terri downsizing and getting rid of things, we offered to help her scan and copy pictures and keepsakes. We started doing that today, and it brought back memories of the many hours we spent doing the same thing for our pictures when we were getting ready to sell our house in Bay City. When we started doing it for our pictures, we found that many of the older pictures had started fading and losing their color. Scanning them into a computer and saving them on CDs means we can look at our pictures any time we want to, and they won't fade anymore. We have found that we look at our pictures more often now, because it is much easier to call them up on the computer. In addition, our pictures fit on a couple of CDs, even though we had thousands of them. The actual pictures, before we copied them, took up about fifteen feet of shelf space. It was a lot of work, but worth it.

The last few times we went to the WalMart Mall was on Sunday afternoon. Sundays always seem so busy, and there are never enough cash registers open. This week, we went to the WalMart Mall today, and it was busy, just like on Sunday. And guess what? There were not enough cash registers open. Going today was still better than going on Sunday because we were able to find everything we needed. And the best thing of all is that the task is done.

When we got back from the Mall, I noticed that there seemed to be a bigger puddle of water than usual on the ground where the air conditioner runoff drips off the RV. I found that one of our water hoses had a bad female connection. Usually, I have replacement hose parts, but for some reason, I didn't have what I needed to repair the hose. What I did have was another hose that we were not using. So, I changed out the defective hose, and we were back in business. Another emergency taken care of. Now, I have to remember to get some parts to repair the bad hose.

More later, be safe.
