digital cameras

Nov-27-2007 By mylifeasannie

I love taking pictures with my digital camera. It is wonderful to take the pictures and then instantly load them up and watch them displayed on a slideshow on the computer!  I remember the old days when we had to either send off our pictures from the photo center at Target or mail them to a mail order developer.  It was exciting to get them back, but there were so many wasted shots.  With digital pictures you can just delete and move on.  Another great feature of digital photography is with the memory cards available you have the capability of taking hundreds of pictures.  On our recent trip to Disneyworld, I took over 700 pictures without any thought of film or running out of space.  It really was a wonderful thing to have.  I hope to someday get a more advanced digital camera, but for now I am very content with the one that I have.  I use a Kodak easy share camera. I think it takes great pictures and it is very easy to use.  The only trouble I have with the camera at this point is keeping it from Amanda.  Hers is currently lost so she takes mine!  I guess it’s okay though, because I get to take a peek at what is happening in her life when she is away from home! I love digital cameras!

time travel tuesday ~ thanksgiving edition

Nov-27-2007 By mylifeasannie

Welcome back to Time Travel Tuesday!
Sorry I’ve been so “absent” lately.
Hopefully my blogging will resume soon!

Today we are traveling back to Thanksgiving Day!
It shouldn’t be a difficult trip given it was only a few days ago.
What was your favorite part of the day?
What was the best thing you ate for dinner?
What are you most thankful for this year?

(If mr. linky doesn’t come up… for some reason it doesn’t on this computer? Leave a comment and let us know you are participating so we can come read about your day.)

Pettigrew Thanksgiving 2007

Our day started pretty early. We had plans to drive to Tulsa, OK which is about a 2 hour drive. Matt’s mother lives in Tulsa as does his aunt Jane Ellen. Matt’s sister Jane Ann was driving up from Dallas, TX. Jane Ellen’s hubby Ron spent the evening before smoking a big turkey lovingly referred to as “tom.” I made green bean casserole, rolls, and spinach dip to take along.
We all loaded up by eleven, dinner was planned for two.
It was a delicious dinner. I always enjoy Paula’s dressing and although she did email the recipe, it somehow wasn’t the same here at home.
Tom was nice and tasty too, I love turkey.
We had all the usual casseroles and lots of yummy desserts.
I think the best thing I ate was the spinach dip, I love that stuff. Second would be dressing.
We stayed long enough to a. digest our food, and b. for me to color and cut Jane Ann’s hair.
Jane Ann’s transformation was a miracle to behold. She looked great!
I (being un-trained) never know what the hair will end up looking like, especially when asked to do a cerain style, but it looked really good. I colored it a light brown with highlights and then cut layers around her face and trimmed it all over.
After her hair was finished we headed home.
Emelia stayed in Tulsa until Saturday.
We came home and ate dinner late before heading to bed.
It was a good day.
I am most thankful this year for the blood of Christ, that covers me with forgiveness… healing… and love. I am also thankful for my wonderful family and friends. I love you all.

digital frameZ

I recieved a digital photo frame last year for Christmas.  They are really a fun gift to receive or to give!

Since digital cameras and camera phones have became a normal part of our lives, we no longer think about the cost of processing film.
Furthermore, with an incredible number of electronic items now integrating digital cameras, the scope for your involvement in the digital future can be truly incredible.

Previously the only way you could view your photo’s is by printing them all off and storing in an album possibly looked at every few years, otherwise, you may bring out your PC and huddle family and friends around it while you open hundreds of files.
