I got the truck back on Monday. Lots of apologies from the garage and no charge. But we had to spend the entire weekend sans <\/em>transportation. This is not a huge problem for us as we typically have enough food on hand to feed the entire campground and we had no major commitments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, we did have one invitation: to spend time with Jett’s siblings at brother-in-law Ray’s cabin in New Salem. Rather than cancel we simply asked for a ride from sister-in-law Christine. She had to go through Phillipston anyway, so it was a minor detour for her. And she found a yard sale, too, so there was even some upside for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always, it was a lovely couple of hours with family. And I was able to try out the outstanding camera on my new cell phone. I have attached a couple of samples. These are reduced quality – the full-size originals are just stunning – but the eye really can’t see much difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am posting this now because I just figured out how to transfer photos from the phone to the laptop. It turned out to be simple, as I expected, but had to find the right switch to flip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, I am very pleased with the camera. I have to wonder now why I even bothered to buy the Canon. The phone camera is every bit as good – probably better – than the Canon. And I haven’t even learned how to use all the options yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
