Memories

I have acquired a new little "toy". I now have a scanner that scans slides so they can be saved as jpg files or you can print them out. I am having so much fun with this! Mom and Dad used to break out the slide projector every few years around the holidays but it was such a hassle. I have scanned around 275 slides so far and only have about 400 or so to go. This is going to take a while. Most of these slides were taken between 1966 and 1972. Once I get them all scanned in I will go back and fix some of them. There are a lot of scratches and quite a bit of dust on the images. I don't want to spoil the surprise for some of my relatives but I imagine there will be a lot of people getting photo cds or a DVD with a musical background for Christmas this year. They are just so much fun to look at. I have made a game out of trying to figure out some of the people in the pictures - I'm actually better than I thought I'd be!

Mom & Dad

I just love the matching shirts! Dad has informed me that back in "the day" if you were a couple you had at least one matching outfit.

Grandma & Grandpa Rawlins


Grandpa Rawlins & Leslie (she is chewing on a cigar!!!)


Valri & Lesli (at least I am pretty sure that is Valri)


Granpa Rawlins, Helen & Phil


Dad & Wylie on their motorcycles



I am not really sure who these people are but I just love the photo!

(I think I can identify the person at the stove, but I am not willing to do that until I am sure)
