Mission Accomplished

Our last visit to South Alabama yielded some gems. My main purpose in visiting was to scan Mom's photos and documents so that they are forever protected. These 250 new scans, combined with the 100 plus Mom helped me collect and scan the past few years, mean virtually all her best photos and Abbeville and Judson College mementos have made it to the digital age. I am already making hard copies of some of her best portraits. This week alone, I have framed several for my office wall. They look really good. Below, the first image is a sample of a photo of Mom that I recently scanned.

During our Headland visit, we also got to visit Aunt Marilyn (image two). After catching up on the latest news over coffee and sweets, we sauntered over to the dining room, where we looked at some old family photos. I ended up scanning many, including the photo (image four) of our cousin Beverly Espy Dayries, her husband Bud, one of their children and Granddad Major. {On our return through Atlanta, Kade and I actually got to have a nice visit with Bud and Beverly at their home in Sandy Springs.}

Image Three is of Mother's "resting place" at the Shorterville Baptist Church Cemetery. Her parents' graves are to the immediate left. Next week we are hoping to have Mother's headstone in place.
