Taking a break from sorting photos from the 1970s. Laguna Gloria art school will take the travel and landscape shots and see if the teachers can use them. Less than 10% are photos I want to keep, so there's no question these need to leave my house. They can have one last hurrah in someone's art project before going into the trash. (Sorry, Earth--photos are not truly recyclable as of today.)
Gotta give Grandma travel props, though. Photos are labeled and here's what I've seen in the last few days:
Hawaii
Australia
Greece
Spain
Morocco
Canada
England
Denmark
Norway
And I've seen other countries represented in past stuff. For someone born in the early 20th century, she really got around! She had a long career as a school teacher and said she squeezed every penny out of her education. She certainly was able to see the world, sometimes with Grandad, sometimes with friends. Mad props.
I am still at loss for what to do with all the slides, though. Maybe I can find a junk artist or someone really creative? Will ponder craigslist...
Positive decluttering thought: Today people use digital cameras like crazy, so they won't drive their future relatives nuts with all the paper photos. And the Earth wins too. Yay technology!
I'm off to attend a Juneteenth food event as my fun reward. Hurray!
