A Wireless Digital Picture Frame Is Like A Time Machine On Your Wall

My parents don’t look like this any more, but on my wireless digital picture frame they still do, several times a day.

In these pictures, my parents are younger than my daughter and son are today. The guns remind us that they were nobody to mess with back then.

Just kidding. They were target shooting by the river. We still do things like that in these parts. The crazy Political Correctness Police haven’t reached us here, not yet, anyway. It’s nice.

My point is this. My father died ten years ago, and my mother is in her seventies, in real life. My wireless picture frame does more than just give me a slideshow of almost two thousand FrameChannel pictures; it is also a kind of time machine.

On the back of my piano is a Digital Spectrum MF8104 10.4-inch wireless digital picture frame, but when I look at it, and I look at it ALL THE TIME, I don’t see a picture frame.

I see my entire life. I see my teenaged parents, and my middle-aged parents, and my mother as she was last week. I see my grandparents who’ve been gone for over forty years. I see uncles and aunts and cousins and old friends. I see my own children as tiny babies and as toddlers and as small children and as teens and as they are today. Sometimes, the contrasts make me cry - the good kind!

With regular picture frames, which used to be ALL OVER MY HOUSE, nothing ever changed. I got out of the habit of even looking at them, except to dust them. Now, with my wireless digital picture frame, I can’t stop looking. And neither can anybody else who stops by my house.
