I think it must also be National Typo Day because I made 3 typos just entering the first 2 words of this post. I guess Iām more tired than I realized.
I got all of the old family photos sorted into groups. There are three of us:older sister, then me, then brother. I sorted them into piles: 1. ones with my sister and probably me. 2. ones of just me. 3 ones with our brother. The biggest pile was with my sister. The smallest pile was with out brother. The non existent pile was of just me. Yep. No a single picture of just me as a baby or child. Not even the day they took me home from the hospital.My brother wants them so I packaged them up and will mail them tomorrow.I had a set of each parent: baby/toddler, high school graduation, college graduation USMC enlistment photos. They were both Marines. My mother got out after WW2 but my father stayed in and retired. The last pile was of grandparents and other old relatives. I labeled and dated as much as I could. I have another package with my daughter from her birth to high school. Those Iām sending to her. (I have a lot more so itās not like Iām getting rid of them all)I also boxed up (using one of our fathersā old cigar boxes) all of his USMC medals and a few things from his high school days. The den still looks like death central but Iām getting there.
Those boys! Beautiful drive yesterday, thick snow all the way down to the cleared most of the way. Picked up some excellent bean soup and cornbread for my sick neighbor, spoke with his wife for a few minutes and 2 hours later got a text that she was now sick. I assume she was contagious last night so I may be next. His flu only lasted 3 days, not the 2 weeks like so many others are experiencing and heās better this morning. He had covid early on, as did 2 relatives she had been with and she never caught it.
If anyone on here uses a Kindle for books, then be aware that from the 26th of February you will no longer be able to download the files to your computer for transfer via USB, or for backup. This wonāt affect the books and downloading to a kindle, or a kindle reader app, but you will no longer have the opportunity to back the files up in case you lose access to your Amazon account. No Amazon account access, no books that you have bought, but at that point, no longer own.
Iāve spent a few hours downloading all of my books (You have to do each one separately unfortunately), and I have nearly 1300 books on my kindle. For those that are interested, that is just over 1Gb in size.
Go to your Amazon account, click on āManage your content and devicesā choose āBooksā, then click on āMore Actionsā and choose āDownload & transfer via USBā. Youāll have to select a device to āSendā them to (I just used an old, no longer in use device) and click āSaveā. Youāll have to do this for each book you wish to back up. The file will be in the kindle format, but I would think that shouldnāt be an issue for some converter programs to sort out if you wished.
I took another bunch of stuff out of the lockerbox we brought back. OMG ā my sister was a packrat with paper. But, I also found a big fat envelope with letters from my father between 1962 and 1966 while stationed in Japan and Viet Nam. She must have put them in order. I have zero interest in reading them but will send them on to my brother.
