For many years I have made text files of all sorts of noteworthy things, like emails.

That’s the only thing I could think of to do, but in retrospect, it’s such a daunting task that it’s just not gonna happen. And when the emails have embedded photos or attached files, how to keep it all together? It would have only made sense if I’d started with a plan and done it piecemeal all along. I applaud you for your superior organizational skills. That has never been my strong suit! I made a few unsuccessful attempts to try and figure out how to import the emails into an email client, but that was it. So I guess I’ll just be hoping this scenario never happens to that extent!

I know what you mean about not trusting safe deposit boxes. We had one for a very short while, but then made other secure arrangements for the paperwork we had stored in it.

Good luck with Elsa. We just got some windy rain yesterday, a bit of precipitation today, and that was it. Not much different from the season of on and off rain that we’ve been having for a while.

Well, as I say, since I have done it for years it just adds a minute or two - including the SD card backup. If pictures are important to keep I resort to Word Pad, the rtf version of text files. Actually I rarely find the need to include graphics. However, I do keep directories for personal as well as political and historic graphics. Of course that takes more time; I often move them into my graphics program and do minor touch up such as brightness and contrast, some minor color correction, 'save' from there... Obviously more time consuming.
