Organizing all these pictures and papers and notebooks and computer files sure takes a lot of time.
Just needed to get that off my chest.
Scanned a bunch of pictures from husband’s family this week.
Trying to get everything I have for Wilbur Hoskins organized. His life only lasted 5 years.
How long will it take me to organze everything for someone who lived, say 92 years?
And once I have everything for Wilbur organized – my table will still look the same.
Just sayin’.
Today’s list covers two weeks in no particular order. By the looks of the links I saved, I have had organization and trying to understand technology on my mind – but there are some other lovelies here.

I haven’t posted anything in a few days. I’m trying to organize my messes and rescan old photos as .tif files and try a different system for organizing my genealogy files on my computer – now that I’ve switched to a Mac. These things take time. And confuse me.
I just saw this and wanted to share. Words of wisdom from Mr. Rogers….remixed. Enjoy!
Did you ever grow anything in the garden of your mind?
