My new technology toys

Thank goodness!  Doug got me the best present for Valentine's Day.  A new camera.  My old one had broken at Christmas during a trip and I've been using my cell phone, which is torture for a pathological picture taker like me.  Here it is!   I love it!  I have the manual sitting close by awaiting time to read every word but for the past few weeks, I've just had time to play with it occasionally.

Doug also let me invest in some teaching tools I've been wanting...a projector and screen to use for my church calling, family functions, or whenever I need it.  Since buying it, other people have asked about it and we've even loaned it out twice so I'm glad it's finding a use to my "indulgence."  Here's how my speech went to Doug.  "Uh,  I really, really want one."  "Why?  When would you use it?"  "I'm not sure exactly but I think it would come in handy."  "For what?"  "Movies outside in the summer?"  "What else?"  "Uh...I don't know yet.  Can I refill that pepsi for you and rub your back?  You look like you've had a hard day at work."  As you can see my persuasive argument (or soft hands) worked and below are my new toys.
