The crocuses have begun to sprout all around the yard. I saw a bunch around the neighborhood too. Today I did some cleanup around the house. Swept along the front sidewalk and along the side sidewalk. I also raked along the side sidewalk. There were a bunch of sprouts coming up underneath the dead leaves. I’m looking forward to seeing what will be growing this year. Continue reading Springtime Popping

I Am A YesVideo Ambassador

My media for YesVideo

Today I begin a new adventure on BenSpark.com. I am an official Blog Ambassador to YesVideo. YesVideo is a service that converts your old movies, slides and photos into digital content on DVD. I like to think of them as memory protectors. To me YesVideo celebrates my memories by making them accessible again. Do you have a working 8mm projector? I certainly do not. However, I do have some great home videos from when I was a kid, when my parents were younger and those memories could be lost forever just because we can no longer experience them and see them.

In preparation for my becoming a YesVideo Ambassador I received a gift code to use with YesVideo to convert some of my media to DVDs. I went overboard and actually spent double what I was allotted and so I paid out the remainder. I sent in two 8mm reels, four VHS tapes and 96 slides. When the media returns to me I’ll be sharing what I sent and finally be able to relive some of those memories from my past.
