Virtual Cigar Box

So I know I am not the only person with this bad habit... I scan my vintage items in and I just lump them into one big folder.  This seems efficient at the moment; but in reality, later when I am trying to gather images for a collage sheet or a project it takes forever to find what I need.  So the past two days I have started a major project of organizing my files.  This is no easy task as I have thousands of files!!  This scanning and organizing is my least favorite part of all this creative shop keeping!  So tonight as I am trying to find a stopping place so I can go to bed, I stumble upon this great photo of my granddad on my mom's side of the family standing on the porch of this general store in Blocker, Oklahoma.  The younger boy on the porch is likely his brother Gene.  This is the little town where my mom's mom came from.  Surprisingly, I don't remember ever seeing this photo, but of course I must have as it was scanned into my computer.  So this evening during this life altering pandemic I have stumbled upon a virtual cigar box.  You know the kind that have marbles and prize ribbons, Cracker Jack prizes and the like,  except it is even better.... a piece of family history complete with a awesome period clothing and a very cool sign.  Tomorrow I will go at this organization thing again.  I must, as I have boxes of photos from the last year or two that really need to see the light of day or at least the light of my scanner! lol  Who knows, maybe I will once again find a treasure.  :)
