Chocolate salami
Let’s start with the funniest thing of the day.
As a parent, I sometimes wonder if I’m doing the right thing…”Should I let my kids watch YouTube Kids all Saturday morning?”. I equate it to my experience with Saturday morning cartoons.
This morning I walked into the kitchen and all I hear from Ezra is “CHOCOLATE SALAMI? WOW!”
And that’s when I thought “Chocolate salami DOES sound cool.”. All my fears about what they watch on a Saturday morning evaporated in that moment!
Larose Forest
On a typical weekend, the kids tend to watch YouTube Kids and Vero sleeps in. At 47 years old, I feel that I have a hard time sleeping in and for the past few weekends I’ve been sitting there thinking “Why am I waiting for my family to be ready in the morning to go and do something?”. That’s how I ended up taking a walk in Larose Forest on a crisp sunny morning. No one was in the forest with me, I was all alone. Visions of bears attacking me came, but I did not encounter anything out of the ordinary.
Scanning Nanny’s Photos
This past winter I managed to scan all of Lynn and Sue’s slides which was a fun project. I also managed to tag a bunch of dates to Mom and Dad’s film negatives. I had one photo album of theirs to use as a cross reference guide which was a Godsend.
But once I finished the one photo album, I realized that I should just wait for more and so I embarked back into the quest to scan all of Nanny Sybil’s photo albums. I encountered an interesting scenario where I’m scanning an album taken from 1981 and it has photos that are from my parents film negative collection. I’ve seen them before. But then I stumble upon a random photo that looks like it’s from the same time period, but I can’t find it in my parents film negatives. Did the negatives go missing? Possible.
I then realized that the random photos must have actually been from Nanny’s camera! The prints are a slightly different size than the ones from my parents. It’s neat to find a few extra photos from an already documented moment in time.
