CREATED NICE BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOS.<br /> I BELIEVE WAL-MART HAS THE TOOLS NEEDED TO DO THESE THINGS. SO I BELIEVE THAT IS THE ANSWER TO SAVING YOUR PHOTOS FROM THE DAMP TRAILER.<br /> OF COURSE YOU CAN MAKE ANY DESIRED COPIES FROM YOUR COMPUTER. I DOUBT IF MANY OF THE YOUNG FOLKS MAKE PHOTO ALBUMS NOWADAYS WHEN THE SLIDE SHOWS DO SO WELL FROM DIGITAL CAMERAS.<br /><br /> NOW OLD CARS. ONE I REMEMBER SO WELL. A TAN COLORED STUDEBAKER. A HUGE CAR, PROBABLY THE LARGEST MADE IN THE 1920s.<br /> THAT DURING MY TEENAGE HILLBILLY DAYS IN OKLAHOMA. LIVED WAY BACK IN THE 'STICKS'.<br /> EVEN THO GASOLINE WAS ONLY FIFTEEN CENTS A GALLON THE OWNER OF THE 1924 STUDEBAKER SPENT TIME ADJUSTING THE CARBEURATOR TO SAVE GAS. THE GOOD MUFFLER KEPT THE ENGINE QUIET AND IF WE HEARD A LOUD SUCKING SOUND WE KNEW 'SLOW BILL' AND THE TAN STUDEBAKER WOULD SOON BE SEEN.<br /> BILL WAS A ROCK MASON AND OH SO SLOW. TOOK JOBS BY CONTRACT AND 'CAMPED ON SITE USING THE STUDEBAKER FOR HIS HOTEL. BILL USED A BLOWTORCH TO HEAT MEALS ON A SKILLET AND CANNED CORN WAS A FAVORITE MEAL.<br /> BILL GOT ALONG MUCH BETTER WITH HIS WIFE WHEN AWAY ON A JOB.<br /> STRANGE ? - - YES.<br /> FEW PEOPLE UNDERSTOOD BILL. samAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-81381161523035195162010-02-24T15:47:09.717-05:002010-02-24T15:47:09.717-05:00Love the pictures of the old cars.....they are Gem...Love the pictures of the old cars.....they are Gems!<br /><br />Regarding your photos....I know there is an electronic device that can scan pictures onto a disk and it works even better with old negatives. It is not a regular scanner.<br /><br />Any photography store can assist you with this issue and provide you with a solution to save all your precious photos. Which you just gave me a great idea for the topic of my next Post.<br /><br />Hugs, RoseRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04718940729278446028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-15745051377610302002010-02-24T12:20:39.681-05:002010-02-24T12:20:39.681-05:00wow,those cars are really cool,wish to have one lo...wow,those cars are really cool,wish to have one lol! can't wait for your new novel to write about love and romance,sure im one of your fan.<br /><br />takecare,<br />blue*Coffeeveggie addict.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02511088741980660133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-85341928832858279712010-02-24T09:14:18.953-05:002010-02-24T09:14:18.953-05:00One of those drunks was a red-headed woman.

I touch my tummy and it hurts. I touch my shoulder and it hurts. In fact, anywhere I touch myself it hurts." Doc looks at her and asks, "Are you really red-headed or is your hair dyed red?" "Uh...no, Doc, I'm really a blonde, but I was tired of all the blonde jokes." "Uh-huh. That's what I thought." says the Doctor.

I have started putting handfuls of mine in plastic packageing with zippers that pillow covers and things come in and then have them in a big wooden box. Not sure putting them in plastic is good or not.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007728342316668058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-55113610707355025882010-02-23T23:12:35.878-05:002010-02-23T23:12:35.878-05:00this is what I did with all of our photo albums be...this is what I did with all of our photo albums before we moved from Montana. I would imagine we had about 20 of them and you are right, they were starting to fall apart and the pictures wouldn't stay in them. And they are heavy. I weeded through them and I got rid of a lot of pictures (for instance we had been to the Grand Canyon several times and had taken a lot of pictures of it, I just saved a few from each trip). There were pictures of people we knew in our younger days that we weren't friends with any more for one reason or another (mostly because we moved) so I shredded those pictures. Also I thinned down a lot of the pictures I had of the kids' growing up days. Then I got a plastic storage bin and put all the pictures loose in them. It was so much more easier moving one bin. Its a hodge podge of pictures in there but its kind of fun to just pick up a stack occasionally and look through them. My eventual project (but don't hold your breath) would be to scan them and put them on disks but I don't see that happening really soon. We do still have our wedding pictures in an album though. <br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
