Lili and I talked tonight and she gave me a bit of flack that I didn’t list her on the prior post as a good friend. She is, but couldn’t play hookie on Thrusday, so she didn’t get a mention. She checks my blog daily and so I am guessing she will see this and laugh.
Lili and I are good friends inspite of the fact that her husband and I are on the opposite sides of the political fence. He and I try not to talk about politics and when we do, Lili remindes us to stop. Lili is the mother of 3, one of whom is Elysha, my helper last year. Lili and I walk a couple of times a week if we have our act together. Lately she has been super busy with running her brood of kids around to various events. Add to it working full time and she is a busy lady.
Lili is Swiss and sometimes has a really good stash of chocolate at her house. I would post a picture of her, but I don’t have one. I will soon.
The UPS guy is scheduled to bring my new Nikon D60 on Monday with an extra telephoto lens. It has been about 20 years that I have used a really good camera. I did a ton of black and white photography at Proctor Academy and then I began to study it seriously in college. Finally I decided that having a teaching degree would be a bit more stable. I switched from a Fine Arts major and figured that I would still continue with taking pictures.
My camera was stolen out of car while I was living in Boston and I shortly after I married, moved North and started a family. I couldn’t really justfy getting a good camera so I have been using an old Olypmus digital camera that holds about 10 pictures. No seperate lenes and in cold weather I can take about 1 shot, then bring the camera inside and warm it up before I can take another.
Lili likes the pictures that have been posted on the blog and I have been looking at different cameras for a while. She is a great encourager. I will have to take the camera with us when we take our next walk. I am sure it will drive her nuts. She won’t want me to post one, but tough luck. Bust my chops for not giving you a mention and the next thing you know, you will be the topic of the next blog. Hee hee hee.
