It's November. I seem to remember doing a post a day during November in previous years. I will again attempt to complete this task...even if they turn out to be short and mundane! So here goes...
It's November 2010. We painted various parts of our house before November 2006. We are just putting pictures back up on the walls again!!! I am having so much fun finding the old frames and the pics that were in it. Dave's brother had 2 or 3 kids in some of the pics, now there are 5 kids in that family!! It's funny to see Dave's varying degrees of bearded-ness and long vs. short hair! I found some really great old ones that I put up on Facebook and some of people that I cherish. I took most of the pics out of the frames and I am slowly choosing new ones. It has been a week of reflection. I am remembering a lot of good times w/great people =). I am also a little sad that we don't print very many pics anymore, thanks to the digital technology. One of my favorite things to do at my Grandpa's house is go through the old pictures. Will my kids/grandkids have any to go through, or will they need to hack into my computer to see what crazy hair and fashions were in style? Will they remember the good times on family vacations or will they need to make up the memories? Only time will answer my questions...but I'm issuing this challenge for everyone w/a digital camera - go print some pictures!! Hang them in frames on your wall, put them on your fridge, shove them in a book somewhere, slip them into the 'important papers' for others to find later, send them in the mail to someone, put them in your kids' lunches, cut them up and glue them onto the backs of playing cards, put them on popsicle sticks and use them for puppet shows, etc...trust me, the smiles will be worth it!
