I actually do have a book that has my grandad's pics. It is about the history of the village where I was born. It is pretty much dead now compared what it used to be.Kaskuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551403219738694648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-30740427362218454362012-06-06T16:56:48.612-04:002012-06-06T16:56:48.612-04:00Kasku, how lovely that your Grandad wants to donat...Kasku, how lovely that your Grandad wants to donate them to a museum.

It keeps you busy and enjoying your summer, as well as inspiring others and sharing memories with your family!! I am in to scrapbooking and totally understand the excitment of digging through old photos just to see what you can find! Last month was my parents 20th anniversary so I made them a scrapbook with a section for each of he last 20 years. I loved getting that together. and they absolutly loved it.

I knew that I would want to remember everything, and I also knew that it was possible that with age may come difficulties with remembering names and events. <br />My grandmother was one of, I believe, nine children, she was one of 2 girls and she was the youngest. Her two oldest brothers passed before she was even born, so there is no real memories left of them, which is sad. No photos, nothing. <br />I have a photo of my grandmother (when she was around my age), her mother, and her grandmother. That photo is one of my absolute favorites. It is beautiful.Stephnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-13463279167890930222012-06-06T12:35:31.540-04:002012-06-06T12:35:31.540-04:00Absolutely wonderful idea, Deb!

However, our mode is much simpler than yours. For years I have taken all my albums and put only the photos into big baskets in my living room where I can randomly look at photos from my whole life. My kids and grand kids come and thumb through the photos all the time asking questions. My mom had done the same thing with all her photos. As we went through her photo treasure drove we asked her who all the people were and if she couldn't remember we tossed the photos and those she did we wrote on the back all the info. It was fun doing this with our Mom as she is now not really with it as much so those photos memories would have been lost. <br />The idea of making that final up to date book is a fabulous idea as I can see your parents looking at all the photos and taking that walk down memory lane. It's good to do it while they are all alive to enjoy it and can answer questions to fill in the blanks. I love following along with your family as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-38898443044085839442012-06-06T12:09:47.786-04:002012-06-06T12:09:47.786-04:00I love this!

Isn't it nice that this can be done now. To think how not so long ago sharing old pictures this way wouldn't even have been possible. The advances in photography and social networking have been so amazing and allows us to do so much more. This also reminds me that I keep meaning to scan my oldests baby pictures, we didn't get a digital camera until '02 so the first few years of her life are missing from our families digital albums.Erinhttp://awrittenexperiment.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-20005751462733960442012-06-06T10:30:31.141-04:002012-06-06T10:30:31.141-04:00YEP...
