Three Sisters

No photos... we are having technical difficulty with our camera... again. Richard has been doing some research to determine what we should get. The criteria? Good resolution for general use, ease of operation, pocket size/easy to carry, and potential great resolution for special projects. Any ideas out there?
Saturday was a fine work day, fair weather and mild temperatures continue. One of my sisters, Deb, and her husband are in the final stages of completing their new home~ they've been doing as much of the construction themselves as possible. So, a bunch of us set aside Saturday as a "work day" to do whatever we could to hasten their progress. It was fun to work side by side with a host of other people! We washed windows (inside and out), placed outlet and switch plates, wrapped weather barrier, sorted through piles of construction debris, raked and cleaned up the yard, cleaned kitchen cabinets, put trim and soffit vents in place, and the really big job was to get the fireplace insert framed and ready to finish. A lot got accomplished with each individual doing whatever they could. Food and stories were shared throughout the day, giving their new home a good start on the "Remember when we..." tales that will be recounted over the coming years.
Also, Happy Birthday to Kathie!
Three Sisters is a tune from the Reckless Reel. It's fun when all five of us sisters get together, and we always look forward to those times because the distance makes it an occasional event. I am fortunate that there are three of us now living within 8 minutes of one another, making it an easy task to get a little girl/sister/best friend time in whenever we can!

I have the canon A710, and I love it! It takes great photos, 7mp, and has 6x zoom, but still fits in my pocket.
