The Turning of the Wheel.
The Turning of the Wheel. Hello there! Sorry about being AWOL, but for the past 48 hours I've been too pissy to be fitting company, my blog would have likely reflected that mood. Mama said if you can't say something nice, keep your pie hole shut. So I did. I'm such a dutiful 😇. See, I thought I had lost every photo I had taken since 2014 off an external hard drive. I was heartsick. There are at least 70,000 moments of my life wrapped up in those pictures and when I thought my files had been deleted? Holy shit you guys, I cried for two solid hours. Today...well...I found out that my worst fear has come true. I've read so much shit on Facebook I've turned stupid. Mrs. was getting ready to take it in to a repair shop to see if the photos could be recovered, and I thought, what the hell, I'll plug it in one more time and see if perhaps there was an issue with the port instead of the drive. Plugged it in after rebooting the computer, checked my folder....still no photos. Tears streaming, I thought I might as well check the music folder that was on this book as well, to see if she needed to have them recover those files as well, because I really, really didn't want to have to go through burning all that back onto a new drive. There is about 300 hours of music on there. When I opened the file.....there were my photos. I have no idea under heaven how the hell they got there, I was trying to upload photos to Facebook when it happened. I screamed out loud, did a happy dance, and thanked God. All the trips I have taken since 2014, my nieces wedding, my mother's first meeting of my daughters , and all the photos I've taken of the minion horde and my grandkids.... They might not mean much to some folks, but to me they are priceless. I've been in a hella good mood since. Then I logged into Facebook and read that Steve Bannon is leaving the White House, and that the entire arts counsel has quit in protest. That is just the cherry on top of the sundae. Headed off to learn about Flow Painting and spray paint art tonight. Something new to<b> stimulate </font></b>my creativity. You guys have an amazing weekend!

put them in the cloud. i never thought i would but know i store my books and pics there so i have more space on my pc and i know where they are. it's a godsend. glad you found them and ecstatic that bannon is out. just waiting to see what that demon is up to though. You cannot conceive the many without the one.

I've still got my photo's stored on my digital camera as well as on my PC. I'm not an avid photo taker in that sense. I'm really glad you recovered your vast collection.

I have most of my photographs on flash drives, and actually made a separate gmail account to store stuff in google drive... including all my posts. Finding something that you thought wasn't there is always sol worthy. Thoughts from the Garden...

Backups babe!! All my photos (that can be) are on both my PC and an external hard drive. But you have a good point - I need to buy a second hard drive, to backup those more fun photos too!
