Today is more focused on a poll than a true wander. Although I suspect I have a couple of sojourns to take today. It is heading into the time of year that can be hard. My father passed away five years ago in June. There were many that passed before him. All four of my grandparents died long before my father passed. I miss all of them for different reasons. There are several questions I am covering today just to figure out what people would like to see.
1. Do you want me to continue publishing the mix of pictures that I have been for the past five years?
2. Should I focus more on old pictures?
3. Should I focus more on new pictures?
4. Should I focus more on my Grandfather’s Pictures?
5. Should I focus more on my father’s pictures?
I’ve been using Mylot has sort of feeding ground for my tech posts. Sometimes when I have a concept or an idea that is buzzing around, I post it here first. But I hadn’t stopped and considered the go forward path for the family history project. Today is that day. I will resume the sharing of pictures tomorrow and will begin to incorporate the changes and recommendations over the next week or so.
PS one of the reasons why I share 12 pictures each time, is that I am sitting on 40,000 pictures and burning through those 4 or 5 at a tie would take longer than I have left to live!

Pinned this to the new board I made for yours, Doc`s.
I am honored! Thank you for that!
I always loved your old photos.
Thanks, Andria! Your homestead posts are at the top of my list!!!
I think you could mix them up , that would make the post like a before after series. Actually i may be wrong because I haven’t read too many of your posts. LOL
I do try to mix it up, but I’ve also kind of settled into a rut lately. i am going to change my routine!!!
All your posts are very interesting and it does not matter which pictures are. I really like to look at all your pictures so I do not know which one to decide. Maybe a bit mixed up to date.
Thank you! Well I also love the pictures you share!
I suspect this post is more a moment of personal doubt. I am over it now!
Since you have so many old pictures, it is good to post them for the past always has its own interesting side after all, but it’s always fun to see new things around you as well. I will enjoy any picture you share here… Well, even I miss a lot too though…
Thanks, Albert. The reality for me is the story. The value for many is the pictures that are old. I try to balance the now with the then. I do not always succeed!
In general, in a community like this, the only person who knows whether we succeed or fail is only ourselves.
That is a truth that is greater than this post.
What you choose. We will follow you and comment.
Thank you! I will return the favor for all your wonderful photographs!!!
I say post what you feel like posting. I understand that sounds like a generic answer. But we will enjoy whatever your decision will be. The old photos of your family are close to your heart and very special. If that is what you want to share, then do it.
Sorry I cannot fully answer your questions. I can only say that when you post what you are passionate about, others will know it and enjoy your passion as well.
I understand about certain times of the year being hard. But you knew that already. I was told a few times to stop looking at the calendar. But how do you do that? I don’t focus as much but I still have days that knock the breath out of me. Always will when we lose our loved ones.
I’ve been told that, (don’t look at the calendar) as well. There are days that I rejoice! There are days when I am wistful. It doesn’t mean anything, other than I have lived.
Thanks, Carol, your thoughtful response really helped!
Do what ever your heart says, since if your heart is satisfied your work will be surely beautiful
Interesting, thanks for the encouragement. Not sure what my heart wants right now.
Let me diagnose your heart …ting ting ting Oh your heart really wants to focus on sharing old picture and the memories of parents …Is it Okay now ?
well the laughter helped! thanks for that! LOL
My son said I should not hit any buttons or vote because of my first post. I like pictures so when he comes back I can have him help me look at them. Thank you.
thanks, always nice to have someone to help!
Whatever you publish is always interesting and I read with pleasure, so I really do not know what to say, dear friend
Thanks, i suspect we will find with a few more votes which way to go! always fun!!!
Anyway, you will decide to read all your posts with pleasure
Thank you! I needed a smile today!
I’m glad if I was the one who brought you a smile on your face
