Happy Spring!

Happy Spring!

Or Happy Easter…whichever you celebrate! So, these pictures are taken with a $15 digital camera. Yep, you heard it right….$16.24 with tax…at Walgreens. There’s no preview, so you have to just take, hope and load them up! Kind of like the “olden days” when we actually waited for things to
