I didn't even begin to go through the slides yet that my dad had. I looked at a few but didn't do anything with them yet. I did keep them all though. I love looking at the VHS tapes and the DVD of my parents. It's like I still have them with me when I hear their voices.<br /><br />Meg & Christina: Thanks for stopping by from SITS.Karen, author of "My Funny Dad, Harry"http://www.karenzemek.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290956317767045397.post-62322805502577039332009-08-20T06:55:29.110-04:002009-08-20T06:55:29.110-04:00Stopping in from SITS!

I agree that decisions on what to keep are better left go for a while. It's wonderful that you have your dad on dvds that you can watch and relive those memories. My mom and dad put all of their old slides from our vacations out west and family photos onto dvds and we all have our own copy - And Grandma is narrating explaining who some of the people in the pictures are that died before we were born - it's priceless and we'll have them forever.Chrishttp://blog.ourdoglog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290956317767045397.post-49708305079336678042009-08-14T20:15:34.369-04:002009-08-14T20:15:34.369-04:00Blue Violet: I wish I had more storage room.

The painting was fun--my mom and I got a lot of laughs from doing it and my dad was always very supportive!Karen, author of "My Funny Dad, Harry"https://www.blogger.com/profile/09712049082814937727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290956317767045397.post-46712377493470140412009-08-13T21:29:06.829-04:002009-08-13T21:29:06.829-04:00I agree.

It's best to wait a while and make the decisions once you're not in the middle of grief. <br /><br />I think it's pretty cool that you all shared in the hobby of painting.Liz Mayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13960276167677132860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290956317767045397.post-76820711747927463152009-08-13T19:21:13.590-04:002009-08-13T19:21:13.590-04:00Day Photo: That's sad she let the farm go for...Day Photo: That's sad she let the farm go for such a low price. Sometimes we just don't think clearly while we're grieving and things just seem overwhelming. <br /><br />Karen: These pictures my mom did I let my foster sister have. I have lots that I did and will post about my painting on my Karen & Gerard Zemek blog one day soon.<br /><br />Eva: Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I agree with you! I'm on my way to visit your blog.<br /><br />Beaded Tail: I'm glad I at least have the video of me using the easel. It was a real sturdy wood one with a tray for the paint brushes too.

It's too bad you don't have that easel anymore but you do have a wonderful video showing you using it plus with your dad in it.

She sold it for pennies, because it seemed like a lot of money to her. Today, 6 years later she wants it back. Sigh!<br /><br />Nice post! <br /><br />Linda<br /><br />http://coloradofarmlife.wordpress.comDayPhotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10241862779620972216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290956317767045397.post-28459334458485293082009-08-12T20:55:31.722-04:002009-08-12T20:55:31.722-04:00Rajesh: Thanks for stopping by.

I just wish sometimes I could see what I'll need in the future so I would not throw things out that I'll want later. Six years though is a pretty long time not to use something. You might want to try selling some of that stuff on eBay. I sold a lot of my dad's stuff on there and got around $1,000 for it all.Karen, author of "My Funny Dad, Harryhttp://www.karenzemek.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290956317767045397.post-53693579128545819112009-08-12T01:15:21.292-04:002009-08-12T01:15:21.292-04:00I liked that clip.

I don't miss any of it, but we did keep a bunch of stuff, too. It's still sitting in the basement, six years later, never touched.
