Today is Grandparents day- so I hope all of my friends who have reached this happy state are enjoying memories if not the actual presence of their grandchildren!   And for those whose grandkids are far away- may I suggest Skype?!  It isn’t the same as being there- but it sure beats nothing!<\/p>\n

I ran into an old friend at Kinko’s this week.  He has become a step-grandfather and was telling me how great it is.  No kidding, John!  Grandparenting is the very best in Adult\/child relationships.  I celebrate Grandparents day every time I get to interact with Aidan!<\/p>\n

And today I’m also celebrating cameras and pictures!<\/p>\n

Jordan bought me a camera on ebay- another Sony Cybershot 8.1!  YAY!!!!!<\/p>\n

Because I already have an extra memory card and battery and computer upload\/download card- and (this is the REALLY important part) I already know how to use it!  So I am quite happy!  It is used, but at less than half the price of a new one, and initiated and paid for by my loving son- I am really happy!<\/p>\n

And he also helped me to get the last pictures off of the camera that Luke gave me and the Atlantic slurped all over and now won’t work.  So I have the last pictures I took in Chincoteague!   I’m going to post some pictures of Aidan  in honor of Grandparent’s Day- and tomorrow I’m going to share some ideas of lovely appetizers.<\/p>\n
