Me On Monday

Just got back yesterday from out scrapbook retreat. As always, it was so much fun. 

Susan, Jeanne, Pam, me, Karolyn and Nancy

Janet was taking the first picture, so Jeanne took this one so Janet could be in it.

We always go to Kentucky Lake since it's about halfway between Nashville and St. Louis. This time, we were a little closer to Nashville (about 15 minutes) since we were in the land between the lakes (Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake). The house that we rented had 5 bedrooms and 4 baths. Just perfect for us. 4 people get private rooms and baths while 3 of us (Pam, Karolyn and me) share a larger room with 3 beds. We're used to sharing a room, so that works out just fine. 

We do have to drag a lot of tables and tools, but it all works out!

We divvy up all the meals and have "happy hour" every day. We have a good variety of food and use our last day as a "leftover" day. We definitely do some good eatin'! 

The funniest moment of the weekend: Karolyn was searching for her glasses.

Turns out Susan had them on top of HER head!! You can see her glasses on her shirt! We are all having senior moments for sure!! Someone's is a lot more pleasurable than the rest of us!!! Okay, that's an inside joke that perfectly fits the phrase: "whatever happens at Kentucky Lake stays at Kentucky Lake!" Right Jeanne??

Several things came up regarding our photos. Since I took an extensive course last winter, I thought I would go ahead and share some of the general info here:

First let me say that I only know about the iPhone and iPhotos. 

1. If you have multiple photos in several albums, they DO NOT take up storage space. The actual photo is only stored once on your phone and does not impact your storage. 

2. Any changes you make to a photo such as edits will appear across all places the photo appears. 

3. You can delete photos from albums and the photo will still be in your library. But, if you delete it from your library, it will be gone for good. You will no longer have it in any album.

4. It is possible to have two or more of the same photo if you received it from different places. For example, if several people share the same photo, you would have it more than once. That does take up storage. 

5. Since our phones are so smart, it detects duplicates. To eliminate them, go to your pictures on your phone. Tap on albums and scroll down to Utilities and find "duplicates." There will be a number there telling you how many you have. When you tap on it, you will get all the pictures that are suspected of being duplicates. Just choose "merge" to get rid of them.
