Reunion and Reorganizing

I have a class reunion this summer. Folks got a wild hair and decided to throw a 34th year one. Any excuse for a party, pretty much like it was back then. I'd love to go, I've stayed in touch with a lot of friends from back home, and Facebook has made it easier to keep up with others. We are scattered all over the world and yet still part of each other's lives. They're a great bunch of folks. I liked them then, and still do. Some I've known since babyhood, quite a few I cannot remember not knowing. We all are part of what makes us the people that we are now. I am me, in part, because of these people. They are in my very earliest memories, that's a long time to have friends in your life.

Working on the wardrobe organizing. Cried for a few minutes when I realized that muted reds, oranges and browns are pretty much merged in my sight. Thankfully, I have an app which tells me what color things are when I point the camera at it. I have one section of complete outfits, and I'll add info as to which purses, hats and shoes go with each combo. Another section features separates which all coordinate. I'll label each piece as to the accessories which will work best with it. Once I finish labeling them, I will wear every combination. A photo of every single combo can have my special tags and labels attached, making it easy to shop in the future, showing the styles and colors which work with my body and coloring. 

It seems there are a lot of things to do while there still is a little sight. Projects, and as I work on each, it leads me to more. None hard, each necessary, a few vital to my piece of mind.

Labeling and copying photos on the computer, burning copies for my sons. Otherwise, they're picking up a photo, tossing it because no one has a clue as to whom they're seeing.  If they really don't care about them, that's one thing. My sons like their family, having those pictures for their children and grandchildren will be a thing that they'd want. Part of their histories, 10 generations of relatives. That's a neat legacy to pass on to them.

Another thing is going through the computer, organizing and backing things up, deleting ancient crap on it. It was new in '06, has a minuscule (30 gig) hard drive. Only one game on it. I deleted and gave away the other games once I could no longer see to play them. Using multiple magnifying glasses to read the screen will make the going slow.

What I need to do is transfer everything to the laptop and retire the old computer. The laptop can be hooked up to the big TV and viewed that way. Much easier than wearing magnifying glasses AND looking through a large lighted magnifier to see the screen on the old one. Talk about a quick headache maker. I'm good for about 5 minutes at most before my head screams from trying to make out any details. Then, I can't get near it for anywhere from hours to days. 

Enough for now.
