The NON Father's Day post...

My plan for the day?  To come home & pull up the pictures I took at my parent's house for Father's Day, edit them up & show you some major cuteness in a Father's Day post...

So you're asking why this is called the "NON Father's Day Post?... Bwwaaahhhhhh.... (that's my Lucielle Ball cry... I am after all a red head)

I went to put my SD Card in my computer & nothing... put the card back in my camera & there's nothing...

NOTHING everyone...


Dont let this fool ya - its from Mother's Day... At least its something - right?

I literally sat with my jaw dropped....

Then it hits me.  My dad wanted to see if the pictures would download on his computer because his tower has a card reader.  I put it in, the pictures downloaded & ta-da... he got to see the pictures before I edited them up.  There were some great ones too... I had so many of Madi - which is so amazingly rare as she's the shy one of the family.  But I had great pictures of her & dad in the garden picking onions & playing in the mud...

...& before you ask - no - dad cant find them on his computer now either... he did have a few, but all the garden, outside shots are just POOF! gone...

But I guarantee, his computer is set that once the pictures are downloaded, it will automatically clear out the card.  I had to change the settings on my own computer so it wouldn't do that even on my end. I never like to clear out a card until I have edited everything & saved it in like 3 places.  I never even thought about it when I was putting the card in his computer.

Dang it....

There were moments that were just real... can't re-do moments like that...

Even great pictures of my dad with a roller in his hair while the twins played "hair dresser"... now THAT's a good grandfather...

I've heard of photo tragedies that happen... I guess this is a live & learn experience...

... I hate learning new lessons in life...

At least dad's birthday is in a month...

NOTE!!! .... I post this & then 15 minutes later, my dad calls & FOUND THE PICTURES!!! WHOO HOOOO - he's emailing them to me to edit.  See?  I just needed to post this. It solved all my problems. Tomorrow, I'll be posting about not finding a million dollars & see if that works again! :)

  2. I would just die if that happened to me. Especially if I was photographing someone's party or something. Thank goodness they are found.

  3. Oh I'm so glad you found them. But I was going to say, you could do a couple of "Unphotographed" pages in your scrapbook to remember the day. Lots of options to get those memories recorded!!

    Love you friend ~~ Dawn
