Hi folks.......
Have you ever taken out one of the family albums...
or just picked one up for any reason and opened it...
and then your a gonner for the next few hours....my
children's pictures especially bring me hours of memorable
page turning...What I did when my first child was born...our
albums were full of her entirely ...four years later the second child's
baby picture's went into her own album's...and the third child the
same...an album just for that child...because of this I have better than 10 album's for each child....so A.G.J....that is album gazing joy.......is dangerous in less I have an afternoon with out much in it that is necessary to do...and as I totter into antiquity...(Thanks Peter O'Toole...if you have been reading my blog you will know why that reference!) anyhoo...I often have such an afternoon now and again....Many of you will know that joy that I am talking about...it is infectious ( infecting myself ...that is) it's one of a kind and the best way to spend what ever time one wants to devote to it....My parents were prolific picture takers...I am the last of 7 children...so unfortunately pictures of little ol me are in short supply...I'm not complaining...I'm happy for what there is... so that my children can see what mom looked like in her youth...etc... to this day I am happy that my sense of order and for my sanity as well... that I put all these pictures (also another half doz. albums...that I title family....) in their respective albums all along the way....no photos in box's for me...not my style for picture viewing....I do not intend to be critical of those that have there pictures in box's...because we all operate on our own comfortable process level....My only concern is that the young people of these days....do not necessarily go in for all these printed out pictures...instead have all there treasured pics in an electronic form...Really nice idea...to late for me...but it makes sense...to cut down on exactly what I will be leaving my children when my number is up....a boat load of albums...I have jokingly told them if they are not interested in them...that they go into the casket with me...Just kidding of course...( especially since these days I'm leaning toward cremation...well that for another day) so instead I have purchased a nice looking container...rattan and such...one for each of the children albums...and they can cart those away to put in a corner of their home... one day...Because we all know when their children are grown...they will LOVE this boat load of album's....Amen.....
See you my dears....( are you out there somewhere?) in the funny papers.......and keep taking those pictures..............Louisa
