Times have changed.
But that does not mean it is all good. Frankly, the world is in a dangerous time, far worse than I have witnessed in the last six decades. It is time to relax and have some fun!:thumbup:
This year, thanks to Gary, I have had a blast with my old favorite Nikon digital camera, the D2x.:thumbup: Yesterday, the D2x was the camera of choice at our family Christmas Eve gathering. Perfect!
I had dreams of going completely retro for Christmas this year but life got in the way. Next year, I have a dream to work on... I am going back to 1950s decor, complete with live tree, bubble lighting, and homemade decorations. Christmas caroling might be difficult, but it is in the plan, too!. Baking my mother's old recipes for dinner will give the right touch, especially with her/my favorite desserts. Other things are in the works, too.
If all goes well this will be preceded by a ski trip with the kids in the mountains and recorded on slide film with my Nikons, and my D2x.
The bonus, all will be part of slide shows to be enjoyed long after the holidays.
Reaffirmation of who we are and the luxury of enjoying things we used to enjoy are the foundations of this dream. The grandkids will be a special part of it all, a grand treasure.
