new camera

My new camera is great! The best part is IT WAS FREE!!! Here's the story:

Dallin mentioned he needed to pick up something from work yesterday, so on the way to the library we stopped by Loras. When he got back into the car he tossed something on my lap and said, "Happy Birthday." I looked at what landed on my lap, and saw this little camera! He has been bidding on things on EBay with a guy from work, and so I assumed that's where he got it from, so I asked him how much he paid for it. He said it was free, and I was astonished! I asked him how that happened, and he said that it had been in the lost and found, and at the end of the school year all the big expensive items at put up for drawings. Dallin put his name in for the camera -- knowing that I wanted a small camera that would fit into my purse/diaper bag & I had mentioned Canon or Nikon -- and he won the drawing! We do need to buy a charger for it because it doesn't have batteries -- you charge the whole camera & I need to find the instruction manual online, but we have a new camera -- it's nicer than our Fujifilm, but I'll still use that one, especially for the kids' portraits. I'm so giddy! I can't wait to figure out how to use it!
