Happy Happy News!

So yesterday my Husband and I bought a sexy little red camera. I wanted a deep purple (no surprise there) however, it did not come in purple. So red it is and beautiful. It has a bunch of easy to use features which is great for me. We needed a new camera because the other small camera we have, stopped working properly. Shopping for cameras can be a bit daunting. There are so many features to acquaint one's self with that my eyes glazed over at times. However, this little ditty is perfect. 
You see, we are going to California (leaving December 20th) for a large family gathering. First to Sausalito, then a ranch up north, then San Franciso, then Santa Cruz. Allen and I are attaching a few extra days to this trip, and driving to Santa Cruz to see if the whales are around. Hence, just one of our reasons for the new camera. I will post pictures upon our return.
In addition to seeing family and enjoying their company, I am going to see my dearest friend Sandy and her husband Angel. It has been too too long since her and I have been in each other's company. I love them...both of them. They live on a house boat in Sausalito, which is an interesting way to live. I visited them once on the house boat, and fell in love with it. It feels like vacation...all the time. So, at the "almost" end of this year, I will be enroute to seeing family and a long time friend. I am very happy about this.

  1. Oh Kathleen!!! This sounds so NEAT!! Will you be staying on the houseboat with them? California is sooo beautiful -- all that beach and sunshine! Can't wait to see the photos.

    And I agree, camera shopping IS daunting. But sounds like you got a good one.

  2. Kathleen,
    A new camera......and RED! It sounds like a nice one, and I look forward to seeing your pictures from California, especially because I'm familiar with all the areas. I hope you have a great time with your long time friends. There's just something special about old friends, isn't there?

    Have a nice Sunday, and have fun taking pictures.

    Love,

  4. You know, I've never tried Dunkin' Donuts coffee before, but I heard it was good. The salted caramel hot cocoa sounds delicious.

    Happy December, Kathleen.

  5. Sounds like a wonderful plan Kathleen...I can read the excitement in your words! You will have to tell us about your camera one day, I am in the market for a little snap and shoot, a step up from my phone but not as cumbersome as my large cameras. All eyes! xx

  6. Taking pictures will be so much fun with your new camera! What kind is it? I'm in desperate need of a new one too...going to purchase one in the new year.
    Your trip is going to be so great...and the warmth, I'm jealous! Freezing here in Seattle...California sun sounds wonderful. Getting to spend all that time with friends and family will make for such a special time, looking forward to hearing and 'seeing' about it!
    Happy packing...xo J~
