i'm old. just past 30 to be exact. being that old means that a good portion of my life has been recorded on film and stored in a medium known as "slides". to see my life from the age of 0 to about 14 (and even beyond that to a point) requires lugging out a screen and a projector and then clicking away (which is actually really fun to do when all the equipment works).
a couple weeks ago i posted about some old journals and items from the past i discovered. going through that stuff made me regret a little bit not having access to those slides, especially since my wife has not been able to see a lot of the pictures (the projector broke around age 3, if i remember correctly).
well, little did i know, my mother was hard at work for the last seven months archiving well over a thousand slides in a digital format, and today i got the final product: a flash drive with all the pics and a cool book with about 300 of the highlights. amazing!
thank you so much mom!!!

We love to tease her about her computer "skills" ... but, man, when she makes up her mind to do something, look out! She can be one tenacious girl!! Enjoy the pics...
