About blogging
I'm really really thinking about posting regularly on here now....been toying with the idea for awhile now, sorry it's taken me so long. :)
Christmas morning surprise
When mom came up for Christmas, she brought with her an entire box full of slides and a slide projector tray full of slides, but no one knows where the actual projector is. The slides are nothing but family photos mostly of my dad and such from when I was little......wow. I might have to find an antique shop or see if maybe a library has one I can borrow? Or heck surely there's a way to just take them somewhere and have actual pictures made? If you'd like to know more to the story, read on
Evidently one of the "meetings" DH had in Oklahoma City one evening was with my mom. He called me that night to let me know he was done with most of his meetings and he was in downtown. Well, I had talked to my mom earlier and knew she was working late and since her office is downtown, I suggested he call her and go out for a coffee or something. He thought that was a good idea so I called mom and told her DH was in town and only a few blocks away and that he would be calling to take her out for a coffee. Afterall, they were both "done" with working a late evening so it worked out perfectly.....at least from my perspective. What I *didn't* know (until Christmas morning) was DH had been at mom's office the whole evening and when I called and talked to them both to arrange a coffee outing they had actually only been rooms apart in the same building. LOL What were they working on you ask?? Mom had a huge box of pictures of dad that she and DH were working together to scan to disk.....when they were finished, they had 4 CD Roms completely FULL of pictures they had scanned. For Christmas, DH was going to give me one of those photo montage books from Heritage Makers (I think they are like creative memories? I don't know), but hadn't gotten around to picking out the pictures for it yet, so now I get to go through them all and help pic out pictures. He was planning on doing this last year when it would have been more "appropriate" timing-wise, but never got around to it and has had the box of pictures in his office for the past year!!!
So needless to say, I was a bawling blubbering mess (happy, not sad) Christmas morning....my husband is so thoughtful. ;)So now you have the full story, I warned you, the delete key was right there and you never pushed it. Oh and mom also brought me two letters dad had written her while they were dating and he was in boot camp before going to Vietnam...talk about weird.
