Clever! Photos don’t age.

Forever young!

I can still go back and look at my mother’s baby picture in the front yard of the old homestead.

Lucky her. When Gracie wants to look at pictures of her younger days, they probably won’t exist, because everything is digital these days and they’ll all be long gone unless her father prints everything out.

Just like the characters in most comic strips.

purepaul less than a minute agoFocus on the future. You can guide it, but the past is fixed. Granted, the past is often as presented often hides secrets.

I promised my grandson that I’ll go through some of the family albums with him next time he’s up to visit.

Wonder if our kids will be able to do the same?

It never gets old.

Only if we print ‘em out. CDs are almost off the market anymore, the new laptop I’m working on doesn’t have a CD player. DVRS – they’ll be on their way out one of these days and video just isn’t the same as lingering over a picture of your mother – when she was young. Saving on a thumb drive? Slides – I threw out hundreds, they’d deteriorated to the point all you saw was fuzz. Who’s gonna want to bother in the future? I have the albums from both parents dating back into the 1920’s and cherish them like gold. There are stacks of my photo albums beside them and again, they are cherished. I still think Polaroid cameras were one of the best inventions.

Remember the faces in the family pictures, beyond when any yet live who knew the flesh.

The photos do not get old but…………..

Boom tish.

Hi, Gracie!
