It was a good one….
The before:
The stocking were hung by the chimney with care (using my new best thingies, easily removed “command strip” hooks):
The during:
We had a lovely Christmas and hope you did, too! I recently killed my beloved Panasonic DMC FZ-30 camera. The first death blow was when hiking about 3 years ago and I slipped and the camera banged against a rock hard enough to chip the metal on the rim…miraculously, the camera still took good photos…good enough that all the studio / in progress shots in my book are taken on that one “after the fall” (and no, I didn’t get but a scrape…I was a lot more upset about the camera)!…the final death blow was a couple weeks ago when it slipped off a pile of fabric on my work table. I had moved it, foolishly, to the top of a not-terribly-stable or flat pile to make room to cut something. Then I bumped the table. Ooops. Landed lens down, and that led to a repair that led to the front of the lens coming off. Erg. So I bought a Canon G12 as a carry-around camera (not one of the fits in a jeans or shirt pocket size, but fits in a jacket pocket or purse easily) and have discovered it takes AWESOME pictures. These were almost ALL taken *without* flash and handheld…. I could never have done that on the old camera!
The not-roast beast:
We will only touch briefly on the fact that Paul left the salami on the table and the next day the pug, temporarily persona non grata, helped himself to one of them. Including a lot of the paper wrapper. Astonishingly, the pug was not sick. Paul was a bit queasy about the loss of the one salami, but he didn’t ask the dog to return it. Ahem.
After snapping about a dozen pictures of the boys and Paul, I hit their limit….. but I DO like the camera!

Ah…the pug should always get top billing. Miss mine.
