Capturing the Moment

I remember my mom's camera from my childhood, circa 1984.   Compared to today's version it seems archaic.   It had a flash bulb that needed to be replaced and the film was dropped off at a photo stand in the middle of a parking lot.  We'd wait a few days and retrieve our pictures.  Although it was exciting to pick up our photos, it was always a letdown. Half of the shots were barely visible, and if we were lucky, there would be one maybe, two decent photos.   

They say cameras have come a long way since then, but based on the pictures below, I am not so sure.    







And, I'd bet you almost anything that mom still has that camera.

Missing in Action

It is easy to be missing in action when it comes to blogging, especially when you've discovered Pinterest.  Forgive me...

Our photo dump of this past month when we vanished from the face of the cyber world...
