I guess that's not bad. I had bought Lady a huge Costco-size box of dog biscuits a couple of weeks ago at the same time I got the Frontline. I took out some of the biscuits for her treats jar and inserted the Frontline package into the box. I happened to check the box and found the meds, and she is presently on her way to being flea and tick proof for the next month. Now I have to write in my calendar so I can remember when to give it to her next month.
As for the chargers and the camera, I went back to storage this morning and opened a number of boxes to no avail. I was wondering what to do next when I remembered as a little girl losing a dime in the grass. I couldn't find it until my dad told me to ask St. Anthony for help, and within seconds I reclaimed my dime. I dropped all religion quite a few years ago and replaced it with spirituality (and I've never been happier), but I thought what the heck. I reverted to my childhood and asked St. Anthony to help me find the chargers. I didn't think to include the camera at that time, but within just a few minutes I saw one of those reusable cloth bags on the floor near the dining table, and decided to take a look. Damned if two cell phone chargers weren't the first items I saw! Both phones are charged now, and I need to figure out a system to make sure I don't misplace them again. Thanks to everyone who commented and told me about their methods - I will see if I can adapt one of the suggestions.
That leaves the camera. I just don't have the nerve to ask Anthony twice in one day, especially when I felt sort of foolish asking him the first time. So tomorrow I will resume the search for the camera - with a little "help" maybe?
Ara called to tell me she picked up the package with the new camera at the post office today. Of course being in the last week or so of this school term she is very busy with projects that need to get finished, but she will check it out and make sure everything arrived intact. She is excited about getting the camera. What a darling she is, and I would do anything for her!
If everything goes according to plan I should be somewhere in Nevada this time next Friday. I'm trying to keep my excitement in check because of the potential for disappointment. I am looking forward to what should be unlike any other trip I've taken across country.
- No More Pictures!
For the time being, anyhow. Yesterday morning, we drove the 35 kms (22 miles) down to the town of Shellbrook (pop 1,433) and shipped our camera back to Olympus. They agreed to send us a new one as soon as I supplied them with a tracking number, so hopefully...

It will be just a quick post tonight, unless I start off on a tangent! I'll try to refrain. I took a roll of b&w film to the camera store to have it developed. You can't have b&w developed anywhere these days it seems, other...
- Hey, I Think I'll Make It!
Actually I never had a doubt I'd make it, but didn't realize it would take so long. I haven't had depression like that before, and there are other issues in my life right now that have me at loose ends. I just realized I actually...
- Egret Or Heron?
I saw one yesterday when I was coming across the bridge over the nearby creek. I was describing it to my d-i-l, and she said it comes here every year, the lower body is blue, and it has a distinctive call. She also told me about an incident a couple of...

I visited the AT&T store this morning to order land-line service, having seen their website quoting unlimited local and long distance for $24.99, but it turned out that the cost to me would be $45, PLUS all the taxes, fees and service charges they add...
