The Annie Book

The Annie Book - Moving Day is getting much closer- and closer- and closer. Going over all of the stuff accumulated during the more than 30 years here, I came upon a CD packet that sported a photo copy of our oldest daughter on her fifth birthday - The CD I had given the title, "The Annie Book." Thinking back about this CD, I remembered that the video it contained was probably the very first one that I had ever attempted. Actually, the "video" was put together as a film strip from some photos of the kid's fifth birthday on a nice, hot August day when we lived in San Antonio, Texas. She had lots of fun in her little plastic swimming pool, watching Mama make a tasty birthday cake, and then, of course, getting to eat some cake and ice cream. The computer program used to construct the CD, as I recollect, was called "Cam Studio," and I believe that you can still download a copy of that program from "SourceForge.net" - maybe yes and maybe no. ("PhotoStory" will do just as well and is readily available.) I thought that this ancient CD might make a presentation of how things were with imaging a time or two ago. Annie has had more birthdays since the one shown on the CD. In fact, she is ready, willing, and able to get onto "Social Security" at any moment now. Yes - lot of birthdays since The Annie Book.
