An Early Anniversary Gift

In about less than two weeks, Emery and I will celebrate our 28th wedding anniversary. In so many ways it doesn't seem nearly that long, but on the other hand, I can't seem to remember life without him. He is my gentle-man in every sense of the word. He took me shopping yesterday and gave me three things to choose from as a anniversary gift. A laptop, an ipod with Bose speakers or a new digital camera.
Oh it was tough to decide. I walked back and forth from item to item weighing my choice.
When it came to the final choice, I decided we would get the most enjoyment from a new camera that would do the things I wanted.
What fun I have had with this new gift. Of course I had to take a couple hours to read the manual to know what was what first.
He also got me a huge memory stick to go with it. 2 gb ought to hold plenty pictures.
With a new grandbaby on the way, a better camera will certainly be a good thing.
Yesterday I took these photos with the new camera and am really happy with the quality.
Emery has been planning this for some time without letting me have any hint. I love surprises !
