Number 91: A new Gadget, out with the old and in with the new.

We have arrived at The Loft. Fred is replacing a door that has wood borer. The eruption of the little grubs created such a drama with the last guests here that I am now looking for a bit of piece of mind and a new project is a good way to distract me.

Number 91:

A new Gadget, out with the old and in with the new.

The last frontier of decluttering and sorting to be done here at The Loft is my parents slide collection dating from the 1960 and 70's. A record of family holidays and family milestones, meticulously itemized and recorded by Mom.

Many years ago my sisters and I did an initial sorting and throwing away of slides that we thought would not be of interest to us and the remaining pile has been lurking at the top of a cupboard, quietly hidden but not forgotten.

So our Christmas present to ourselves this year is a Wolverine Slides Negative and Photo Digital Converter, sourced on Amazon. It has arrived, along with some spares that the Johnz organized for us before they left Hawaii to come out to South Africa. 

The stash of slides that need to be converted into digital images.

Out with the old and in with the new!

So here I am, just a little intimidated about where to start and how to use this new gadget. I suppose the manual that Fred printed for me off the internet, a cup of tea and looking out to sea, is a good start!
