My Birthday Present

Hi All!

Thank you for all of the birthday wishes. It was nice to hear from so many of my blogging friends! My birthday was very nice. I didn't do too much but had time to relax, read, play the piano, and make some bookmarks.

Hubby gave me a nice present.

My very own "purse camera!" AND it is pink - my favorite color! I am so excited.

Isn't it pretty? I like the reflection in the desk (!!) too!

It has a nice big screen to view things through and a handy strap to keep me from dropping it into weird places.

The camera has all kinds of fun settings to explore - which I promptly did much to Hubby's amusement. I skipped all over the house and took all kinds of weird pictures to test things out.

This photo is using the "up close" setting. I think it worked pretty well.

This is another close up of a paperweight .

I moved on to odd "still life" scenes. Like this . . .

Of course my kitties were fair game during the testing process.

Skor was being so cute peeking through the rungs on his favorite place to nap - one of our bar stools - but I just couldn't get a good picture. This one is close!


I caught Miss Cleo in a rather awkward pose but . . . I think it works for her!

There are many, many other pictures just waiting to "thrill you" on my blog but . . . I think that is enough for now. Blogger and I are not playing nice when it comes to moving pictures today!

Happy Monday!

Voice Update: I still have a surprising amount of "gunk" in my throat which makes my voice sound a bit hoarse once in a while but . . . my voice isn't doing too badly. I was having problems with words starting with "c" yesterday for some reason. It is always something!
