I've been MIA on the blog front. Truth is, I don't keep an online journal any better than I do a personal diary. It always seemed like something I should do--write down all the random things that run through my head every day. But I always get caught up in the here and now. There's always something going on that's more interesting in the happening than in the telling.
I was taking pictures of new yarn the other day, and my somewhat-new camera suddenly died. No warning--took a perfect picture one second, and went dark two seconds later. No display at all. In my eternal rosy optimism, I just used the view finder and plowed on. But when I downloaded the photos, I got black for those shots.
I think I wrote earlier about going to see my brother this summer and dropping my old faithful camera in the lake. Ok, so I didn't really just drop it--it slipped out of my pocket when I was bending over talking to my nephew, who was in the water. I loved that camera, so replaced it with another of the same brand. The company that made it went belly-up about the time I bought it, and the camera did the same a few days ago.
The new camera I just ordered will make the 3rd one I've had since August. Does everyone go through cameras this fast? I kinda doubt it.
So in a few days, I get to learn all the new buttons and bells and whistles this new one has. It will be a challenge. Soon as I get it, I'll post some pics.
Yarn dying on the stove--I better go check it. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
