Since Dad got sick, Mom’s been going through a downsizing mode. She is seriously getting rid of just about everything.<\/p>\n

She asked me if I could do something with the family pictures because she had never had time to put them into albums. “Sure” I said. It sounded like a good idea. I’ll just scan them in and upload them to the family website.<\/p>\n

Box after box after box has been ariving in the mail.<\/p>\n

It’s great fun to sit there and go through photo after photo. but somehow, when I add the additional step of placing the photo onto the scanner, it turns into a chore.<\/p>\n

I know it’s such a cool thing to have all these photos – many families dont have this many. And really, on the surface it sounds like such a cool project – and I’m looking forward to having the photos scanned in. It’s the actual scanning them in part that’s got me bogged down.<\/p>\n

Maybe I need to move the computer and scanner into the living room so I can watch mythbusters while I’m scanning them in.
