All the Christmas and New Years doings are over. I am breathing a sigh, both of relief and a bit of sadness. I am so blessed to have such a great family and wonderful friends. The MD duo were here several days. We went back and forth from our house to S and S and of course they were all here on the 25th. Then spending three days with friends in Illinois was special. I am feeling loved.

The gifts I received will give me pleasure all year (once I learn how to use them). From RM and A I received a scanner to scan old photos and slides. It can even scan three dimensional items. And part of the gift, from my view point, is that A set it up for me. From S,S, and K I received a digital picture frame, with extra memory, I might add, to allow me to have a slide show of up to 3,000 of my pictures. And from DH I received a program like Adobe Photoshop (my choice).

With all these items plus the photo printer I received from DH two years ago, my photos should be organized, improved, displayed and printed if I choose. My biggest problem comes in if I don't use one of these things for a long time. I forget how, and it becomes a bit overwhelming and so I do not use it. I hope to not let that happen this year. I am not as brave with computer or digital world as the next generation. But I am trying.
