Sliiides!

I'm back to working on my major project I started a year ago.  (I seem to make progress in chunks).  I decided to take on scanning my parents' slides from the 60-80s.  I started out enthusiastic, and got the first 15 reels done.  Each reel comprises of 100 slides.  There's a total of 27 reels.  lol  But.  One at a time.  Little by little, and they're getting done.  On a good weekend, I can do a reel in one day.  I have a spiffy scanner that lets me load 4 slides, then use their software to auto correct the slides as it sees fit while its scanning them!  Which means it takes longer to scan each on, but.  I don't have to make corrections after they're scanned either.

Right now, we're up to around 1973/1974.  And its a real pleasure looking back over old times and remembering..... and wondering "Who's that?"  and "Where were we again?"  hahaha

 That's Mom, holding our dog, Buffy, sliding in the snow!

I put these on a DVD and share them with my siblings and parents, so we can sit and watch them at leisure, without dragging out the slide projector, finding the screen, etc etc.  Memories and Family.  Good times!
