Anyway they put a wine frig in their kitchen. I like the people and dogs who keep you balanced. I've got a point and shot that I love only I've had it for several years now. I think it's a good idea. I don't like bringing my big one anywhere anymore.

I don't you can go wrong if you get the Cannon you've picked out. WOW, it's WiFi and Bluetooth enabled! <br /><br />Alligator and crocs scare me, too. Oh to be young and naive to fall for the line your hubby came up for your girls. lol I will give him extra points for his creativity. The $10K question is, do your daughters now have trust issues? lol Seriously, the things we have to say sometimes to calm our kids fears!! I used to have junk drawers like yours and while I no longer have a junk drawer, my drawers are still junky. The only way to fix this problem is to have more cabinet space which means we need a new house. Let me tell you, I am paying a lot of attention to kitchens when I look at homes and yes, we do want to find a new home. Thanks for stopping by for a visit on Wednesday. I'm running late. Have an excellent day!Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056276734145310231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-78228213631057519742018-02-22T16:39:59.085-08:002018-02-22T16:39:59.085-08:00

I spent more time at my accountants oohing and ahhing over her fabulous photos from Europe with that camera than we did talking taxes. Crystal clear and great zoom. I like that Chili has his own day.

I used to take photos for my social column with my little Canon and I was always being told that my photos were better than the ones the professionals with the big cameras took!

Have two of the biggest, heaviest cameras they make. And after hauling it around the carribean for magazine work and to Italy for 8 weeks....I ran as fast as I could to get a small one for next venture. My back just can't handle the big one for carrying around anymore. Not to mention the hassle of traveling on plane with all equipment. I got the Sony in your first pic and I've loved it. And I swear...the pics are just as good with that lil point and shoot as my big professional ones!!!

You know in Texas the weather turns on a dime, but I suspect this front is moving your way. As far a camera, I use my iPhone and my iPad Mini. I'd love to have a big girl camera, but toting it around doesn't thrill me. I'm lazy!<br />So where is the big summer adventure?
