Computers and Trash and Pictures and Me

Let's just make this clear once and for all:

I do not understand computers.

I was working on another project for Hallie, not because I don't trust that her teacher is going to give her a good education or anything but because... well, it's what I do, alright?  We all have our hobbies, mine is making worksheets.

So there I was, copying and pasting images to corresponding letters and when I was done I had some extra files to send to the old trash pile.

I was just about to delete everything in the trash pile, when suddenly I thought to myself, "Self, why don't you check what is in your trash before you empty it?"

Which I never do. My philosophy in life is, if it is in the trash, it's trash, and why bother check it every time?

But I gave in to the little whisper in my head and took a peek at the trash.  First thing I saw was a folder called "Amy's Shower Plus".

I've never seen this folder before.  Naturally, I opened it. 

Now this is where, if any of you do understand computers, could help me figure out how this happened.

I will list the strangeness in bulletin form so you can digest it more slowly and perhaps come to a possible conclusion for how this happened.

The pictures were from back... I mean, it's possible Devin and I weren't even married yet.  In fact, I think probably we weren't.  Thus, seven plus years ago.

They were not taken on my camera, because I don't take pictures as a general rule, and if I do then it is other people in them, not me.

This computer is new, and I would have remembered putting these pictures onto my computer somehow, and I didn't.

And if I did put them on my computer somehow, I would certainly not have put them in the trash folder.

I ask you. Where did they come from?  How did they get here? Why are they in the trash?

And now, please, to enjoy this random snippet of my life from seven years ago.

Actually, there are too many.  If anyone can figure out how this happened, I will upload the very most priceless of this find.

    I have no idea. Have you asked Devin? Maybe he was trying to be sneaky. How awesome to have some pictures show up though! You have so few from that time period.

      I just asked him, and he has no idea either. One more reason I know we didn't take these pictures, there are some in the folder of places we've never been to, like temples we've never been to... curiouser and curiouser.

    Maybe when you transferred files from your old computer to the new you had two of those folders and the computer deleted it for you??? Just a guess.

      I was never able to transfer any files from the old computer to this one. And the old computer wasn't even old enough to have had these pictures anyway... Mysteriouser and mysteriouser.

    My philosophy about the strangeness of computers is "When in doubt, blame Peter." It usually works for me.

    Maybe there was someone at your house recently who was putting pictures on there for something?

ThanksGIVEaway

This giveaway is now CLOSED. In a week we will find ourselves feasting with family and friends.  We will reflect on and share with each other the good things in life that we are grateful for.  And I think that's great, to give thanks. My heart lately though has been leaning in a slightly different direction, I've felt an emphasis on a different part of the name of next week's holiday.  My heart is filled with gratitude to people who have reached out in love, sympathy, and support when they see others in need..  Those who have voiced prayers, and kind thoughts and words on our behalf, and on behalf of people seeking comfort everywhere.  The people who have watched children, sent flowers, made meals, and done so much more to try and ease burdens.  And my thankful heart wants to GIVE back to these people, as a small way of saying Thank You. So today I present you with my ThanksGIVEaway.  You know those big fancy blogs that are sponsored by corporat...

Come Take a Tour

This is the longest post of all time, but that's because of all the pictures. So I know I shouldn't let myself get carried away since we still have the inspection to go, but... I feel like we've won half the battle, so I will show you pictures now. This backyard is one of the  main reasons I wanted this house.  It is on a corner lot, and it is really quite large.  It extends just as far off to the left.  Here you can sort of see the nice swingset we've inherited also, which Hallie will love as it has swings and a slide. This is the playhouse in the backyard.  It's about nine square feet inside, and has electrical set up and in the spring/summer you can tell it is landscaped.  My girls will be a little spoiled. This is the first thing you see when you walk in the house, aside from the stairs which you can barely see in the left corner.  It is a formal dining, but we may use it as a formal sitting room. This is the front door, with the stair...

Which One?

Look, I know I ask for your help a lot, but you guys are just so good at being helpful, and I am so bad at making decisions. I have about ten posts that I have wanted to write, but I spent a ridiculously silly amount of time on these pictures instead, and now I can't decide which is better.  That's your cue to step up and say you'd love to help, so that I can free up my brain to tell you all the other things I've been wanting to tell you. (Oreos are involved, so get excited.) What I do is I take pictures that represent the words of the song I am teaching and then I hold up the page for the line and they (hopefully) remember the words and know what to sing, until they have the song memorized. I do this because about half the kids are too young to read, or read very well.  Now you know what I do at church on Sunday. The line of the song in question that I have to teach the kids is "for all His creations of which I'm a part".  Originally I just took ...
