Who Are These People?

I love online ordering! It's like Christmas when the UPS dude rings the doorbell! So far this summer, I've ordered the Wii and its accoutrements, but my latest purchase, the Brookstone iConvert Scanner, is really cool! Most of Mom and Dad’s early photos are on slides, so I bought the iConvert to scan the slides and convert them to jpeg images, which are much easier to use. I haven’t scanned many slides yet because it is a bit time consuming, but I am enjoying the process. This photo is of my parents and me sometime in 1971-the slide says September, but I know that I never got my film developed right away, so I’m not sure how accurate that date is. Based on my size, it’s probably pretty close. Anyway, I think we’re at Coney Island, because Kings Island did not open until 1972 (which also matches the ’71 date). I think that purple bear may still be in Grams’ attic.

Once I have finished converting my parents' slides, I would be happy to lend the converter to others!

By the by, Greg came home just for the day! With two scheduled days off, he decided that one day traveling and one day at home beats two days stuck in a stinky hotel room! We’re all happy about his decision J
