The Day

The day is over.
Party's done.
Grad's new life has just begun.


Yesterday introduced me to babe in arm.
Today a man with wit and charm.


How time flies.
Life passes by.
Hug 'em
Hold 'em
Love 'em.
They'll be grown and gone in the blink of an eye.

Party's Over - Silly string draped abandoned seats immediately following graduation commencement. 

My oldest graduated this past weekend. I'm so proud of him.

The party was a great success and the ceremony absolutely lovely.

I highly recommend placing disposable cameras on the tables of graduation parties for guests to use at whim. I was so busy catering to the needs of 70 plus guests, not only was I unable to converse with anyone, I didn't get a single picture taken! The ceremony was different. Camera was firmly planted to cheek.

My boy! All grown up!

~sigh~

Happy 4th, Birthday and so much more!

Whew! I'm beat.

Spent the weekend trying out my new camera. Not so happy with the results. All auto settings which I had hoped would do better for me. I can use manual, but in a pinch, you want to know auto is there for you. I was looking for a small digital with good HD video capability I can keep in my purse. My SLR is not a grab&go ya know? The one used in the pics above is a Nikon  Coolpix S8000 with a not so little price tag of $300. I have two weeks to return &/or exchange. Will continue to play with it for a few days. Anyone have any suggestions? Do you have one and love it? Hate it? What small digital do you have (if any)?
