So, I wrap this week up dubbing it the "throwback" movie week. My husband Joe is a lover of anything antique. This week he was restoring a friends Bell & Howell projector, well more like 3 projectors. My parents like any young couple in the early 1980's were proud owners of their own Bell & Howell projector and Super 8 camera. Needless to say we were excited to get a projector up and running so we could thread in one of their home videos. It was so cool. The image mixed with no sound just gave it the touch. I got to see my parents as a young couple getting their house built, my brother as a baby (Awwww) and family videos that I'd never seen. Plus Joe taught me how to thread a projector!

Then yesterday I dusted off the good old home videos that were on VHS. I'm so thankful for those VHS cassets. After losing my mom those are the one thing that make me feel like she is right by my side. After she passed 7 years ago the my memory of her voice, characteristic, and ways slowly fade. With the videos it's like my memory was fully restored. I can take those times and feel complete once again.So, I say to you whoever read this, go visit your family and watch some HOME MOVIES!!
God bless,
Erin
