Forgot to mention...

Christmas Day has come and gone but I forgot to mention I got this wonderful gift...a new camera.  I have been complaining about my camera for a year now. I originally had a Canon and it was wonderful. I had it for two years and then one day it stopped. Just like that. It didn't work. It went black. You could not see what you were looking at and although it allowed you to take the pic it did not show what you took! I read up on it on-line but no solutions. My friend had one just like it and she bought it a month before I got mine. It died a month before mine did. The same problem. She took hers to the Canon rep and they said they could repair it but...it would cost. Not worth it she said so she bought a new one. I too bought a new one. A pink Sony hand-size. Very cute. At first it was great but later it did not do what it was supposed to do. I don't know if I played too much with it or what but the pictures occasionally turned out good - especially with natural light outside. Inside was a different story. Usually yellowish, shaky, fuzzy. I was getting upset.

However, that is all behind me now. John bought me a Canon Power Shot ELPH 300 HS. RED! I opened it finally last night and started to read about it. Sounds like it will be a perfect companion. Small and powerful. I have to put the disk in the computer so I can download some pics and I will do that shortly. I already know it takes good pics inside and when you magnify them, they are still clear! Now that's amazing!

Hard to believe it is already Dec 28th. Where did 2011 go? This year, I didn't even get postcard pics made up (I didn't have a good enough picture of us) and only got a few cards sent out of town. In-town did not get any this year. Maybe I will start a new trend!

I returned some gifts yesterday. Four gifts, four different places, four different line-ups and four different times waiting. It all added up to about an hour in total. Not too bad. I found a cute little outfit for my youngest granddaughter as I returned the dressy dress that our daughter felt she would not get much wear out of and a new pair of pj's which hopefully will fit my oldest granddaughter this time! My, how fast she is growing!

Well, I am debating whether we should take down our outside lights while it is still nice outside. They are talking about flurries later this week. Of course, it will snow tomorrow as I have my hair appointment on the north side of town. It always snows or rain when I have to go across town and onto the Yellowhead. How does IT know that??!!

Have a good rest if you are on holidays and if not, enjoy your work day!
