The sorting done, I have delved into the task of scanning the photos into my computer. This job is tedious and better suited for a trained monkey. But two of the pictures have grabbed my attention and I would like to share them with you blog readers.
The first one is of a little boy. His expression is somewhat unhappy to say the least. When I first saw it, I thought to myself, he is having a bad day. But I am sorry to report that all of his pictures turn out that way. I am not revealing his name just in case.
He is one toddler SERIOUSLY in need of a cookie.
The second picture illustrates to me the sheer lunacy of mortality. Perhaps we are concerned with the legacy we leave behind. Maybe we care about enjoying our lives while they are here to enjoy. Whatever the case, this man, was once someone's son. I apologize in advance, but the distance of time and never having known this person lends a slight bit of humor to the off the wall tidbit on the back of his picture,
The caption simply states his name and "Died in a bread mixer."
Now, death is never funny. But surely there was some other life event that could have made it onto the back of a photograph as a descriptive marker for this suave gentleman.
I hear the scanner warming up. I guess I had better eat my banana and get back to work.

I think that little boy needs a whole container of Heather special cookies with chocolate icing in between:) I have do have to say....that is a very interesing thing to put on the back of a picture?!? I think that would make me want to research it to see if it was true or just some silly joke. Love, April
I think "died in a bread mixer" is exactly what I want to know about that gentleman. And I want more details!!!
