I'll Be Doggone
Had a fantastic day of poetry and supper with friends yesterday... but I'll wait 'til tomorrow to tell you about it. I haven't had a chance to work on the video yet. Plus, Geri will be home soon and I still have to make lentil soup. I also must confess that some of my time and mind got sidetracked (though I'm not complaining!) by a surprise gift from someone whose "name" begins with M and ends with m. If you read yesterday's blog (or even if you didn't), you can figure out the missing letter, which also appears in the acronym OMG (which describes my reaction when I saw it). A new camera! And it's even better than the old one. Muchas gracias!
From my first batch of photos with it:

Lady Persephone Crisis

Lord Lucky "Strike" Crisis

Leda Hannah Crisis

Old Faithful — may she rest in peace.

That's what M*M's are for! Didn't you know!
Wow what nice photos! Very nice! I assume you are photographing yourself as we speak to check out how much better you look under the scope of a new lense. LOL..
It might be scary if you have a zoom...
Have fun playing.. take a picture of your soup we want to see if you really CAN cook. So Photos please!

By the way Leda is really beautiful now that she is all grown up. (Not that she wasn't before of course.) Any sign of puppies yet???

I guessed "MOM" Come on Chris. Leda is a kid and her daddy is Lucky Strike. Do you suggest incest? Bad girl!!

Lucky wanted to get lucky when Leda had her first heat, but we successfully kept them apart. Thank goodness!

Thanks, Chris! Lucky's a huge dog; but the way he curls up, he doesn't look so big in the photo. I haven't taken a photo of myself with the new camera yet. I just posted one of myself yesterday anyway, and I don't want to seem too narcissistic... lol. The soup is nearly done and Gina Tabasso's video is loading onto the computer from the camera. It takes a while, but I hope to have it ready to post tomorrow.
I'm grateful Leda didn't get pregnant.

I guess it is MOM. If Leda has puppies who will the dad be, Lucky Strike. Isn't he her father? No comment....

I did not know your dogs had middle names how cool!! LOL...
Shucks I was actually hoping for puppies!! Leda is so pretty.... I was hoping for one just like her.

Lucky's full name is actually Lord Lucky Maximus. Lady's is Lady persephone. And Leda's depends on who you ask. We named her Leda Lynne; but my 6-year-old niece Hannah says her real name is Hannah Leda. So I compromised and went with Leda Hannah.

A Kodak EasyShare C913 - 9.2 megapixel.
The last one was 4.0 and less compact.

Get a lot more camera for a lot less buck than in 2004...

It's nice in this disposable world to see someone cherish something.

So glad you were happy and surprised with your new camera. What great pictures of my granddogs. You deserve to have a surprise once in awhile. In fact, you deserve so much more. Love you more than you will ever know. Mom
