Reduce, reuse, recycle!

The final act of the Disappearing Photos Saga occured today. An old friend, Greg, gave us some good advice. He said we ought to focus on recovering the pics from the computer rather than the external hard drive. So we started researching the software you can purchase to find files once they've been deleted. In the midst of that research, one of us (I think it was me but I'm not usually prone to such brilliance) says "wait, have we checked the recycle bin?".



Pause: for those of you less computer literate, your recycle bin is kind of like a holding cell where files go when you hit delete. Eventually they are deleted from there and go somewhere mysterious on your computer (the software we were going to buy finds them from the mysterious black hole).



Ok, continuing with the story. We click on the recycle bin and pray.......woooooohooooooooooo! There they were...every single one of our beloved photos appeared before our eyes! Hallelujah!!! Happy day!



So, in order to celebrate this blessed occurence I will share with you a handful of my favorite pics that were lost but now are found.
