Welcome to Sunday All Day Brunch. This is an open topic thread so help yourself to the goodies and sit a spell and let us know what is new with you. In cleaning out my parent’s house I boxed up a ton of pictures. Some were labeled other were not. I've started scanning in pictures and putting them on discs for the family. I have tons more to scan and I haven't even started on Dad’s slides. I'm hoping when my brother can move out here that he can give me a hand in sorting and I can get more scanned in.
In the meantime I have tried to get the oldest and most fragile pictures scanned. It is like looking into a glass that shows a past that was from before I was born or even thought of. It is fascinating to say the least. So follow me as we venture into the Past.
