What to do with all the photographs?

It's a gray day, but a great one to accomplish many tasks.  Regular housekeeping chores aside, I find time now to refocus energy to a task I have procrastinated long enough. There are several large plastic bins filled with pictures and photos from my mother, aunt, and mother-in-law.  These photos, have been collected over many years, and require a selective and caring eye.  I need to sort them, and my thinking at present, is to catalog them, make several piles for each of my brothers (3), and my own two adult children.  I could make each one a scrapbook, however I'm thinking more of putting them into a manilla envelope, and sending them off.  They can decide if they want to keep, or dispose of them, however they will.  Perhaps prayer will guide me to the next step.

The heat of the day is bringing a warm breeze onto the porch. The clouds are moving in a line, forming great thunderheads. The worker is here helping us do a roof over. (We developed some major leaks in the bedroom earlier in the winter, and this project has been procrastinated long enough!)

 My husband is standing by, assisting as he can, and making sure the worker is doing his job!)  Today, the big job was getting the roof air conditioner out.  It has found it's way to the ground, using ropes, and bungee cords, but I did hear a loud thud. (No screams or holler, so that's a plus.)  I now have a gaping hole in my kitchen.  That's not so bad really, in the grand scheme of things, but I do hope the storms predicted, will be going away from here and out to sea.  There are white caps forming on the lake right now, and breezes are increasing.

Love Finds You in Glacier Bay Alaska

Love Finds You in Glacier Bay Alaska by Tricia Goyer and Ocieanna Fleiss
This story calls me to dream of travels there. It was a beautifully and skillfully woven story of love, and adventure, in the Alaskan wilderness. It kept me lingering on each word, and savoring each page. It is a blessing to read of a Christian influence, acknowledgement and gratitude to a loving God, and the power of Jesus, in the storyline as well. My hope is that these talented authors will add a sequel. I will treasure this book for years to come.
