I recently scanned my parents' wedding photos. There are two that have been in frames for 10+ years. They are faded. If possible, I'd like someone to color correct/retouch (are these the right terms?) them. I can provide example that haven't been exposed to light (from the album book). The photos were taken in 1973 if it matters.

JOHNSON: And she said to me, this does not negate the fact that you've worked so hard to get here. We are going to do everything in our power to make this day special for you.

The Supreme Court has temporarily put on hold the release of redacted grand jury material from the Russia investigation to a House panel. The Trump administration is trying to block the release. Last October, a district court judge ruled the Justice Department had to turn over the materials, which were blacked out, from former special counsel Robert Mueller's report into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

The Justice Department had until Monday to turn over the material following the appeals court order. But on Thursday, the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to block Congress from seeking it, saying, "The
