Stories of Old Russia 16 months ago

Spent time with grandma yesterday listening to stories of old Russia…..especially one about how my great grandmother and her female friend decided to experiment with dynamite once by hitting the caps with a hammer on an anvil….they lived to tell of their experience….scary to find out what is in the genes!



Need to call and schedule 20 months ago

more time with Grandma. Hard part is the weekends have been packed, but I need to get more aggressive about doing some things in the evenings.



Thank you note from Grandma 22 months ago

I got a lengthy thank you note in the mail from Grandma today. She is very thankful of our time spent together last Saturday and is ready to schedule again!



60 pics archived from Grandma's collection! 22 months ago

Spent 5 hours with Grandma today and got 60 pictures scanned and stories collected! Made it all the way through Grandpa’s old scrapbook and partway through another! Grandma really started getting into it by the end once she saw how the computer and scanner worked and the possibility of sharing. We will schedule another date in a few weeks to do more once I type in these stories and match them up with the picture numbers.



Date Scheduled with Grandma 22 months ago

Saturday we will spend some time scanning and archiving old pics with stories onto my laptop, and then will get them restored and printed up for all family members complete with stories behind the pics! Some of my favorite pics she has is of all the Doukhobor relatives in their early 1900’s garb.



Going to visit Monday! 22 months ago

Making a special trip Monday to go see Grandma and bring her birthday joys!



Grandma lives here in town... 23 months ago

Yet I don’t get out to see her enough. I’d like to take my laptop over to her house and portable scanner and scan some old pics as she narrates the history of them.
