Cataloguing and archives

What fun!

In a call back to a previous life, I ended up face-to-face with some real enjoyment.

First, I used a library program to catalogue some books from our church library.  Flooding back were memories of tags, subjects and Library of Congress.  The software performed well.  I wish I could say the same for myself.  It took me awhile to catch on.  But in the end, things come back, like riding a bicycle.

Second, this afternoon I was headed over to look at some archives.  A very-shirt-tail relative, C.W. Baker’s store was demolished this week.  Some of the unique items have been kept by Richard Jones.  The grandson will be in town next week.  I was asked to meet with Richard before he arrived, and see what was there.  Some letters, pictures, a store sign.  Great to see, feel, smell the scent of history!

So, that’s a day.  That makes a day for me!  Oh, and I took some time off, played bass guitar, ate another wonderful meal prepared by my wife, met some of our youth out on a scavenger hunt, received two new laptop computers, and reviewed by Sunday sermon.

Not a bad day!!
