Memory Lane

We are getting ready to do some spring renovations. The past few weeks we have been running around to different flooring stores to find the best price on bamboo flooring to put in our bedrooms. We have finally ordered the wood, or should I say grass, and now we are in the process of de junking the rooms in preparation of having it installed. Guess it could be called and early spring cleaning. So we all have be doing some of the work. Hubby, who is an avid comic book collector, has been bagging and sorting comics for the past couple of weeks.

My job has been photos. Boy do we ever take a lot of pictures. I guess with a digital camera it is not as obvious because it is stored on a computer somewhere, but right now I am confronted with a ton of pictures not in albums. It is a bit overwhelming, but I am enjoying looking at the story of my hubby and I , and then later little sunshine. Oh how we have changed. Remembering what we were doing at that time, what our worries and joys were. I came across a picture of sunshine with her dad working in the garden in early spring - she was not very old, and every year since I have taken a picture of them working in the spring garden. I came across pics of a wedding we went to where there is not one picture of us, but of the bride and groom - who are no longer together. Pictures of the ice storm and how encased my car was at that time, that picture evoked a quiet silence in me - remembering how devastated the trees were and how some people really are crazy - like this one guy in our neighborhood was out with a heater warming up his trees in his yard to melt the ice off them. In our city we had people with out heat and electricity, and this guy was out warming his trees! Crazy, just crazy I tell ya.

Pictures of spring flowers, sunshines first halloween dressed as a yellow M&M, beach vacations, christmases, family reunions....

What a great trip down memory lane...
