I tend to procrastinate, a lot
That's why this week I have started putting together a vacation photo book.
Of Cuba.
I went in 2016.
Actually, my two year anniversary is coming up shortly. My friend Dan and I went on a Roads Scholar tour and it was awesome!
Anyway, I have an Apple computer. So I started playing with the pictures.
First, I picked out the ones I really liked and thought would go good in a book.
Next I tried to figure out how to make the book. I stayed with it and finally figured it out.
Then I started ordering and placing pictures, so that like things went together. So all the Hemingway home pictures are in one spot, cars in another....you get the idea.
I had to add some pages to get the cars in.
And some more for the farms we visited.
And some more for the people we visited.
I got tired and stopped.
I think I have 44 pages... most with three or more photos. They charge by the page.
I am up to $92 and still have some pictures I really, really, really want to use.
I am on the Horns of a Dilemma, as they say.
First off, I am cheap. But I figure the book will be a memory jogger for when I sit on the rocker at the old folks home, drooling my pudding down my chin. I can look at the book and ask people, "Who's the idiot who spent $92 on this?"
So in that sense, it will be priceless.
I think it is pretty neat.
I will have three more 2016 books............I might need a second job. Or at least a first one!
