Last year in January I decided to organize all of the photos I had in different albums. I would put together separate albums for each son, one of my youth, one of our adult family, and travel albums. I figured that it was worthwhile after a cousin had died and his children were talking about going through old photos and trying to figure out who everyone was. Since I had time on my hands after retirement, I decided to put all my photos in order now.
I was doing really well up until I needed the dining room table for Easter dinner of 2009. I had finished albums for each of the boys, another with vacation pics, but still had boxes of pictures to go through. So, I boxed everything up and put it in the spare room. And there they sat until today.
All day sorting and I think I now have everything together. I need to pick up one more album for those large sized baby pictures. I worked with seven different albums with pictures going back to the 1800's.
The one thing missing is labels on all the pictures. I do not even want to think about trying to label everyone of them. I'm not even sure I know who everyone is in some really old photos. But my sons were delighted when I gave them their pictures and I think they would like to know who all these family members are.
So, tomorrow, a trip to the store to find labels. I've left everything on the table so I have some incentive to finish this time. At least before Easter.
