~Fixin' Foto's~ :-)

I was chatting with a techy friend of mine the other day and had asked about a program that would let you hook your computer up to your VCR and take snapshots off of the tape. I was given a link to a site where it shows how I can take a negative or a slide and use my flatbed scanner to make these negatives into photos..and its VERY easy to do according to how it shows to do it.. Usually you would need a scanner with a light in the lid but with this adaptor and a homemade one..you can use a regular scanner..Its so easy by the looks of it and I am going to try it..This thing you make yourself and it shows the photos taken from slides and from negatives.. I AM going to see if it works.. I sure hope it does..All I need is the flashlight..and Raelynn can pick that up for me wednesday.. :-) I have some old 8mm movie film that my dad took years ago..I had them put onto VCR tape, thats why I was asking about snapshots off that tape..but since I do have the original tapes they would be better to use.. I can do any kind of negative. I am anxious to try it.. All I need is a flashlight with a fluorescent bulb..and that should work. I am so eager to get at these photos..there are so many stories in them..I can see the vcr movies and I cant wait to get them into photos...All these old photos I am so glad I have them. The memories they trigger are what is so great about them, things we had just tucked away not really remembering them, until that photo says "say, you remember when.." Now all I have to do is get organized. No comment please lol :-) Raelynn came today even though it is a holiday..Was so funny both the boys were waiting at the door for her and Dutch had his string ready and waiting for her to drag it around..they really like her..Dutch just pesters the daylights out of her but she really doesn't mind..she has cats of her own..between hers and her sisters I think they have 5. Pets are such a good thing.house bound people need one..They are so much company and someone to talk to even.. I talk to mine all the time..Well sometimes I even YELL..lol...I have NO choice however..specially when Dutch is scratching the wall at 3 am...go figure..I dont know what hes looking for but he does that... He is such a animated cat..he rides on the back of my chair even.. I can roll all over in here and he sits on the back between me and the chair and just rides..looking all smart..LB just walks away..he doesn't have time for that undignified stuff..lol... Hes so picky.. very laid back , hardly know hes even here, well until he starts howling if he cant find his girlfriend..he keeps close tabs on her, even Dutch does NOT mess with LB's girlfriend..he WOULD get in trouble then. This week we are going to tackle this bedroom and start on my sewing room. It really needs it badly. My sis brought me some new tops that are just gorgeous and I am SO pleased.. I told Raelynn that I will give some of them to her, there is NO way Ican wear all she brought.. I guess its something that is in a person that sews the love for clothes.. My sister is worse than me tho..I thought I was bad, lol..shes worse. Only thing is she doesnt like silk real well its too slippery she says, and she doesnt wear skirts very often..She has some but usually she wears slacks...I'm happy with all these new tops tho..Its very easy to make a skirt and only takes a few minutes to do it..specially if they are just elastic waist...I can use my machine for those few minutes even though its not that easy really..I say I am going to check online for a adapted sewing machine for an amputee but I never do i get too busy looking for tons of other stuff and get side tracked.. Well I really want to write these storys and possibly do a book.. I would love that...so that really has more priority that the new skirts to make right now.. Maybe Raelynn will go to the freestore here and find some there...never know I dont think she has ever gone there before... But anyway..Im slowly but surely getting stuff done..its about time :-) Raelynn brought me 2 biscuits and sausage from McDonalds..I love their breakfasts...Only thing I can eat from there..I only ate one and saved the other..so guess where Im headed? yup..to get that leftover biscuit and a soda and its monday nite and good TV tonite..so I am gonna do my nightly routine and try to beat my cats out into the kitchen and I bid you all Nitey Nite :-) Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? Luv ya!! and thanks :-) Always, Lois**** May God Bless you today, I'm so honored to call you friend, I pray the Lord will keep you safe, Until I write again...
