Weekend News

This is a lovely family photo taken in front of our garden. (Please excuse the fact that Ben and I are squinting.)


The above photo was taken with this handy camera tripod-ish gizmo(below). Given to me by my sister, Em, who is ever thoughful with each and every gift. We used to watch Inspector Gadget (the cartoon) when we were younger but neither the Inspector nor Penny had such a fantastic gadget. The camera was actually hanging upside down when it took our photo. The camera screws in to the black disc on the bottom. I cannot wait to find fun places to use my new go-go gadget! Thanks SO much Em! Decked out in winter gear for our yard sale - it was pretty chilly!
