The last day of the month which means tomorrow is the first day of May but most importantly it is the first day of lobster season....there is nothing like a Bay Lobster....boil, boil, crack, crack, hot butter... ohhh heck with the butter it just ruins the taste he he....
I thought I would do my blog this morning while sitting here burning the last of the Nickum cds of photos and documents... 7500 photos have been scanned and most of the fixed through psp by Carl... 41 documents as well are included on the cd... of them I translated 4 legal pages from Germany to English and was very happy when I brought it back to Opa to see how I did... it was not too bad... I guess our winter project is officially done with... So today or tomorrow all the albums, photos, negatives and slides will be packed up and taken back to Carl's parent's place with 3 copies of the 6 cds that we have done. Actually there is only 5 cds of photos... the first cds is an introduction to what they will find within the others...
It was a very enjoyable and informative project and actually wouldn't mind having another one next year... One day I will go through all these photos, get some hard copies to make an album for ourselves... including the information that we found but most importantly the information we received from Carl's Uncle and Aunt... there is one project I would like to get done before Christmas and that is for Susan when she was looking at the photos some times back she mentioned she didn't have a baby book of her photos... but like everything else that I do I will have to wait for the mood to hit me...
This week I have seen very little of Carl... and no I didn't put him in the dog house... more the garage actually and he put himself in there... getting his tools and things back to where they are suppose to be.. and maybe when he is gone I will be able to find them when I go looking for them... he he... the snow blower is put away and the lawn tractor is now sitting outside waiting for the grass to grow and the few projects that he had not finished before heading out last year and a few new ones this year...
As for myself I have taken a few trips around the yard trying to figure out where I am going to put the plants that needs to be divided but that is about it for me... Nothing seems to be motivating me to get out in the dirt or even go to the green house to start taking things out that is normally out there this time of the year... maybe if I start something I may get in the mode... but as of yet nothing but I am sure the second I start watch out there will be no stopping me...
I started my day several hours ago with the cleaning of the computers... mainly Carl's at the moment ... mine is next... I have thousands of photos that have to be moved so if anything happens to this little sucker I don't lose them because I have done that one before... well a few times... of course the laundry, picking up, more laundry and looking through my summer clothes to see what I can take out at the moment... with the weather going from 28 on day and to 4 the next maybe I should just leave things as they are....
Have a wonderful Thursday all... Joanne
