Happy Monday and New Week.
Do you shop online? We live rural so I find it easier and less expensive to shop online for many household goods especially. and Today is Cyber Monday. I don't have Amazon Prime but if you do they have loads of specials going on.
We are still very cold here-in the 20's F Some days with wind
The second camera has broke and doesn't work-sigh I liked this one, but didn't like that it used AA batteries instead of those flat lithium batteries. I could only take about 8 photos before I needed to change batteries-didn't think that made sense. The third time I took photos the camera stopped working. We tried different batteries to be sure. I bought this one on Walmart.com as they had the best online price I could find. Nice that I can take it into the store to get my money back right away. It needs to warm up a bit more though for me to get on the roads. We have had a thin glazing of ice here for a few days. Looks like mid week we will get out of the 20's F for a day or two.
Soooo bummer I have spent lots of time looking at cameras-again over the weekend. I chose one that Larry thought looked good but it has no reviews-I always read reviews to help me choose a product, since I can send it back from Amazon I just ordered it. Never have had so much difficulty with cameras before.
We are still enjoying watching pelicans and seagulls on the lake. and I am back to being aggravated by the squirrels eating all the bird food-sigh. They are funny to watch but if they would share I wouldn't mind so much-but No they stay and eat til all the seeds are gone. Oh well that's squirrels haha I did set up a suet feeder that they haven't bothered as of yet. That has been bringing in the woodpeckers.
Do you watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Christmas parade? I didn't enjoy that at all this year, perhaps do to my age now. I recorded it so I could buzz through the too many commercials. I didn't know any of the singers except for a couple. When Santa arrived on his too cool float which I thought was the highlight of the parade-they only showed about a minute of it before they ended the show. I won't watch that again
I did enjoy watching good football games including an exciting college Notre Dame game-they should end up in the top 10 with an at home playoff game. I recorded some of the new Hallmark Christmas movies-again to buzz off the too many commercials and was super disappointed with the film that was based on the KC Chiefs football game. It featured Kelce's Mom-who is always at the games but Wow this was major dork haha. It was really bad. I find myself watching more Christmas movies on the Great American Family network now instead. The plots have more substance.
On a happier note-I did finish most of the deep cleaning in our main living areas. I do still need to tackle my craft room with a good vacuum and dusting-and perhaps a bit of organizing. Soon I will need to downsize but am not ready for that yet., as I never know what craft I want to "play" with. Now the house is in order, hoping to get back to my slow stitch bags.
Happy December Everyone
Browsing online for pelicans in Missouri-I found this one at Truman Lake
and this one taken in Sedalia Mo
Camera woes..... sigh.... All my cameras have always used AA batteries... but i think maybe cameras are on their way out and have been for awhile .. .maybe thats why your having so much trouble.. I enjoy taking pics with cameras more but i don't always have a camera with me but i do have my phone with me so i think things are going that way... I haven't used my camera in ages.. I hope you get a good one Kathy... fingers crossed.. Hubby and i are headed to the scrap yard .. will pop in later and comment more. :) Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteHugs I think so too that little cameras are on the way out. I had one I loved that lasted 20 years after that I can't find anything that works. I did so some searching and ran into a good sounding camera from a video I watched. It was a sony but new ones are over a thousand dollars. Used ones begin around $100 going up-but don't want a used one that could be worse.
DeleteAre looking for items at the scrap yard? that could be fun
Sorry for the camera woes. Yes we watched the parade
ReplyDeleteWe do not watch college ball.
My house is stuck and span waiting fir my company any minute.
We are cold too and we still have snow.
Have a great week
