Why I Love My MOM

By Dawn Reitz

I love her 'cause she's always there
to help me up when Life's not fair.

To kiss it better when it pains
and scrub away the dirty stains.

To make me laugh when I am mad
or comfort me when I am sad.

And even when I'm down and blue,
she’ll pick me up and push me through.

I love her 'cause she's always there,
to be my friend, to always care.

Never too busy to understand,
to love me, and to hold my hand.

To put all other things aside,
So that my needs won't be denied.

To tell me, "No," when it's not right.
To say, "Don't let the bed bugs bite.”

Mom, no one compares to you,
without your love, what would I do?

I love you more than words can say
and hope I’m just like you...Someday.

Photo Organizing

Digital Photo Organizing

Where are your digital photos NOW?
Are they somewhere on your computer?
Are they still on your digital camera?

Start with your most current photos and work backward. If you try to start with old photos you may never catch up. Once you can manage your current photos and create a storage and retrieval system, you can start on organizing old photos.

Organize Your Photos-
 Get pictures off of Camera quickly – Create a “DUMP” file in My Pictures
 Create a Main Folder in My Pictures by year
 Put categories and sub-categories into main folder by events and date
 Label photos in your “DUMP” and move to sub-folders.


Back up photos-
• Use an external hard drive – great if your computer crashes but not in a fire
• Back up On-line – BEST CHOICE

Display Your Photos-
• Using digital photo frames
• Print and Frame

Share Your Photos-Create digital scrapbooks or share with Social Media sites
 SmileBox
 Scrapblog
 Mixbook
 SmugMug
 Photobucket
 Snapfish
 DropShots
 FaceBook
