UGGGGGGGH. Still at it. Dealing with placing snap shots, photographs and framed pictures into the antique walnut chest that sits in the Living room. It's up to me to make this FUN. Still working on that part. grins. Not laughing yet. More like struggling along and indecisiveness. Where do I go from here??? I'm going round in circles.
When I pull a group of snap shots out of the envelope it brings back so many memories it stings and the water works start filling my eyes with tears. Where did the time go? One day at a time. I have so much to be THANKFUL for. I will feel so much better when I have these pics in order and accounted for. If I had been doing this all along, it wouldn't be so laborious as it is today. Oh well. Maybe I should just be thankful we still have these pics to look at.
More boxes of negatives and snap shots are still popping up. Here's another box to deal with. The chest is nearly full. uggh. Getting the negatives and snap shots all grouped together will make phase two of dealing with the pics easier. Ready for easy.
I'm seeing quite a few pictures that I want to have framed and hang on the walls.
The going through these snaps will be a WINTER PROJECT where I sit and go through each pic while crying I'm sure. Perhaps some laughter will come out of my mouth as well. HOPE SO. I think I will store the pics in photo boxes and yellow envelopes. This will probably change as I go along.
For now, the mission is to clear out the TV ROOM. This is a slow activity. Very slow.
Late last night, my daughter phoned me to let me know that one of her co-workers and husband were killed in an auto wreck where a semi-trailer truck hit them. Same way my favorite cousin and her husband were killed 4 years ago. The roads are increasing in truck traffic. I hate it. One has to really be on the defense and alert when driving around here. Each time I enter onto the interstate's ramp, there seems to be a semi traveling on the road. I've noticed this.
The couple that died were on their way to SAMs in Topeka. Praying for their children left behind.
Lord willing, I will continue digging out from this mess making the chaos turn into order. Like God took chaos and turned it into order except on a much smaller scale.
We need to go to MENARDS for porch supplies as hubby is getting ready for the steps. Taking my hat off to him as he continues to work so hard on this project. I'll drive on a slower pace than the road demons go and I'll stay out of their way.
This afternoon, I will continue working on the TV room, rest some and dream of when this task is finished. I need patience and drive to get all of this done.
TODAY, Dad would have been 99 years old. When I look at the pictures, I remember days gone by that were wonderful. I am so blessed to be able to say this. There have been some tough things to go through in LIFE as well that I cannot completely forget. Still praying about these. Lord HEAL me. Amen.
Here's to a beautiful day,
