I finally got the DVDs I had submitted to Costco for conversion from 8mm camcorder tape format.
They had been ready 2 weeks after submission, but somehow we had got the wrong phone number on the forms so I never received a call from them. I got worried 7 weeks later and went to inquire and they were sitting there just under my name 'Christine' with no last name. Luckily I had all the receipts. L was able to enjoy a couple of them before she went back to school. It's like a documentary, snippets of their childhood captured for all time! The years go by so quickly and it's nice to look back on these moments. Costco has a special of $6 off per tape until October 21st, so I will take the rest of my camcorder tapes in for conversion. It's a bit expensive but worth it.
I bought these chrysanthemums and waited for them to start blooming. It's a real pleasure to watch them every day. They've already changed quite a bit since I took this photo.
Here's what they look like now
I noticed these shrubs while I was out and about and thought they gave such a pretty, 'spiky' effect.

I have never tried Costco for that. David transferred all of our videotapes to DVDs by using a VCR and hooking it to the DVD recorder. They all look great! Love your colorful mums!
Glad you are conserving your memories, times and techniques change so quickly. The chrysanthemums are gorgeous! Valerie
I wish I had tapes to convert. My parents never had a camcorder.
Your mums are gorgeous. :-)
Your plant looks like it is bursting with flowers and what gorgeous colour.
hi Christine, flower watching is such a beautiful pass time, these are lovely, I was hacked again, my blog was, my modem fell on the floor right about the same time and I didn't know until 6 days later, I will always keep up with you here, I hope you are well,
Love your chrisantemus look really beautiful!xo
So nice to hear from you Laurie! I do hope you are back up to blogging again soon, I know you likely keep backups now so can import to a new blog.
Oh memory of our children's childhood! I have so many tapes, but have no fund to converse them now..
Your flower is very pretty..
