I'm here. I just have time to read, but not to post, so I guess that makes me a lurker, or possibly a pseudo-lurker, because I've left comments here and there.
It looks like most of you have had a good Christmas. We had a lovely Christmas, with family from both sides. We went to my family for our traditional Christmas Eve, and to Dear Husband's family for Christmas Day. It was a hoot to watch our granddaughter open her gifts!
Santa was VERY good to me. I received a Canon Cybershot digital camera. I've been spending most of my free time learning to use it. So far, I can take a picture and delete it *G* My stepson is my camera guru. Of course, HIS hands FLY over the buttons, and it's nothing for him to download the pictures. I already have a file of Christmas pictures from 2006. I only hope that I can learn to be as proficient as Janet at using pictures in my blog!
I expect to be tied to my office chair for the next few days, and then I am going to demand time at my sewing machine. I'll grocery shop early, and choose plenty of easy to fix things, and then bury myself in my fabric!
The Christmas cookies were a hit. We gave seven boxes or tins of cookies to the ladies at the salon, and I took two platters to share on Christmas Eve. There was another platter for home, and I think we have enough to last the week.
I didn't get to the Kolache, but I think I may try to do them this weekend. I remember my mother making them when I was a kid, and it would be fun to revisit an old recipe.
In case I don't make it back before the weekend, I hope you all have a great New Years celebration! Happy New Year, y'all!

Now that you have a digital camera we will be demanding pictures of everything!

Buffy,
You let the cat out of the bag. We are waiting.....
You will love your camera. Just point and shoot. I'm ready for an upgrade.

Oh, ladies, I'm so excited to have the camera, but it's going to take me forever to learn to do all it offers! You'll probably see more pictures as the weather warms up and I have plants to brag about!

Buffy--What does this mean, "...to learn to do all it offers"? Not once in my life have I ever learned to do all that anything offered! (Well, with the exception of my various pairs of binoculars!) Have fun...learn what you NEED to learn...and get back to us with pictures, please.

I'm with CC - there is nothing wrong with learning only what you need to know to take pictures. Sure, our little instamatic does 4 different "types" of flash, but I only need one type so never bothered to learn how to change it around.

THANK YOU, Cop Car and Bogie, for letting me off the hook! I can barely manage my dinosaur of a cell phone, and I'm sure that my microwave would do more than popcorn, if I asked it. I suspect that even the washer and drier have hidden talents that I've missed.
It's a relief to know that there are engineer types who have chosen to learn just what they wanted and let the frills go by the way.
Thank you, ladies. You've made my day! I'll just be pointing and shooting. *G*
