The problem is fixed! Now what camera do I get?
I think I'm getting a camera. My OCD is kicking in. I tell myself "I don't have to worry about mine. It's old. It can get sandy. I can toss it in my back pack without its case." Still I have spent hours looking at cameras (When did mirrors get involved?) and reviews. My Cannon doesn't need a lens cover. The upgrade only has four stars. I usually don't have pockets on my clothes. Where do I put the lens? I want a view finder. Help find me a camera!!
THE CAMERA. Elliott's point of view/ Jo's point of view
Is it really that big of a deal? Jo has had her camera for years and loves to take pictures. It makes any walk more fun for her. I know that.

Is that why I put that same burden on Jo? She took up knitting and made beautiful blankets she gave to friends and the grand kids. She has always finished jigsaw puzzles until the last two...
I cannot possibly catch up for 3 years but if you are reading this and a friend, you can catch up on Facebook. Some of what has happened: We bought a house in Sun City Lincoln Hills, CA We have made great friends We took a couple of cruises one of which was right before the virus hit. We have traveled back east where are two adult children live and of course Jo's best friend. We traveled to the MOAB area, Fort Bragg, Mendocino, Lake Tahoe and camped in San Diego, Moss Landing and Morrow Bay. We also went to Solvang, Bodega Bay, Death Valley, San Juan Battista, Carmel and more so we have explored a bit of the state. The fence in our backyard was depressing me so we were lucky enough to buy a fractional share of a condo on the beach! We got a 2nd granddaughter who is all giggles and love and a grandson we'll get to know after this pandemic called the coronavirus leaves . The first baby seems all grown up. She is a princess, thinks she is a p...
