I almost forgot to mention that I finally broke down and bought a new digital camera. Remember, some time ago, I had that unfortunate accident where I dropped my camera on the marble floor of the powder room I was trying to photograph? It was not worth repairing, so I have been borrowing my brother’s camera every since. Now, the nerve of him… but he wanted his camera back to take with him on vacation. I bought a Fuji FinePix Z, in Red. I really wanted the one in Lime Green or Orange, but would have had to have it ordered and I wanted it immediately, so took the Red that was in stock at my local Best Buy. I’m still figuring out how to use it, but I have been able to get the pictures onto my computer, which is a good start! This time I bought a 2 year Warranty because now the warranty covers things like dropping it and getting it wet. Two things that I could easily see happening to me. 🙁 It has many more feature than the one I used to have and the one I borrowed from my brother. To be fair, I did offer it up to my brother for use on his vacation, but he is afraid he would lose it, so has decided to bring his.




If you buy it on an American Express card and it gets lost/stolen within 90 days, AE will reimburse you.
How do I know this? We gave my son a camera last Christmas for his trip to China. He went over in January and promptly lost it and had to buy another. We never told him we were reimbursed for it, hee, hee. He just thinks we are the best parents in the world for not yelling at him too much for his carelessness 😉
