Wow
When I came home tonight there was a box sitting outside the front door and it was addressed to MFB. Surprising? Not in the least. I mean we don't have packages delivered every week mind you, but this time of year when he needs things for his broadcasting one never knows. The box was very light weight and the return address said something about a Navy building. So I'm thinking Navy? ??!?? I set it on the counter and didn't think anything about it.
I go about some light domestic chores and MFB gets home about 10minutes later bearing our favorite Chinese takeout for dinner. He hands me the box and to paraphrase says it's for me.
Isn't that a terrific picture?
How about this one?
The gift wasn't someone's knitting it was the
new camera to take the pictures with! The first picture is with flash and it definitely added color. This is the Noro Kujaku that I am making an evening purse out of and the second picture shows truly what this purse will look light in the low light of say a company Christmas party.
I've wanted a new camera for quite awhile. Yep - I'm definitely spoiled. Thanks honey it's a spectacular birthday present. I didn't mention before this but it's my birthday this weekend.
So this is the weekend I'm in Rhode Island with the giver of the perfect birthday present. We leave tomorrow after work. As I'vewhined about mentioned before I have some angst about Rhode Island. We think my actually going will turn the tide on the fact that my middle name is Bill, as in Doctors Bill.
OK friends - if I have not posted a new entry say by Tuesday night one might consider that either the Ski Patrol or the Coast Guard should be notified. That should cover all elevations, no?
Drat I just spent the whole evening getting to know my new camera and I still haven't renewed my driver's license or packed. Off to the website to renew my DL because when I stopped by the licensing bureau the other day I was told they don't actually renew them there, you have to do it on line or via mail. I mean really, a DL office and you can't renew? I won't start on that issue. I'm too busy smiling.
Everyone have a safe and fantastic weekend.

Happy, Happy birthday to you! You will love that camera...I an one that is about a 1 year older model. Fabulous photos! And the purse is looking wonderful. Was in Rosie's Yarn Cellar in Philadlephia yesterday and they had a bunch of that Noro yarn...some in your colorway and some in others. Hope this weekend was tons of fun!
Awesome present! Have fun!

Happy birthday, Barb! I hadn't read this post when we chatted on Wednesday, or I would have said so then. I hope you had a safe, fun, un-catastrophic-eventful birthday weekend in RI! :-)
