-We're completely spoiled by digital cameras. More than half the pictures taken in the '80s and '90s should be thrown away. I can't tell you how many pictures of pets' tails we have...or blurry pets....or people's heads chopped off. It's amazing really, just how bad the pictures are.

| 1993. Heads optional. |

| 1988. A blurry picture of my birthday cake. |
-It's amazing just how much I'd forgotten. One picture can trigger so many memories, a smile, and a "oh, yeah!"
-There are not enough pictures of every day life, unless you count the everyday lives of our pets. Ha! This makes me so thankful that I found and am doing Project Life this year. We're capturing little moments that would be lost forever now. That makes me happy!

| 1989. Our dachshund, Hans. So many pics of pets! |
-I was teased pretty mercilessly as a kid. Heck, who wasn't? And I can see why. My grandmother loved to sew...and she sewed most of my dresses through elementary school. The most exciting clothes I got were hand-me-downs from my half-sister. Looking back, I wish I still had all those dresses my Granny had sewn!
-In high school, I took the baggy style a little too seriously. I was never really overweight, though I wasn't athletic, but I was determined to be covered up. No wonder I never had a boyfriend!
-Sadly, I have very few pictures of my grandparents. Since my grandmother had emphysema and was often on oxygen, she didn't like her picture taken. But I have so many memories of her, and none of them captures on film.
-I have an awful memory, especially for names. When looking at all my birthday parties across the years, I recognize the faces of my friends, yet I have no idea what most of their names are. How depressing!
I'm so glad to have these pictures more accessible. There are so many good memories there.
