The Tidy Enduro

When I make our monthly calendar, I always save a day for The Tidy Enduro when I spend the whole day doing a deep clean on the house and at least one house project. This month was special because I seduced Keith into joining me. That’s because the project was Step One in a much larger initiative: Family Photos. We have so many boxes of photos from our ancestors in different places, some even mixed in with other junk. Our goal was to gather up all of them in one place and make sure they are safe from light, humidity, etc. The project is dragging into two days and we will have six big tote boxes of photos. This does not include all the photos we have inherited in frames. STEP TWO will be the creation of a searchable category and tagging system. STEP THREE will be to buy equipment to digitize these treasures, which I am hoping we can tackle when snow falls. Lots to look forward to in our role as Archivists. So fun!
