Holidays are often family times and when families get
together, often out comes the camera. These days the camera is usually incorporated
in the cell phone. While I have learned to text and phone with this device, I
am only just learning the art of taking pictures. This Christmas was a good time to practice.
In fact, I took my first selfie.
I held the phone at arm’s length and pointed the phone
towards my head. Of course, those of you who read my last post will know the
question I asked Lyle, “ How do I look?”
By this time, Lyle was a bit tired of my amateur photo taking
attempts, and looking up a little distractedly, replied, “Stunned!“ When he saw
my crestfallen face, he immediately revised this to, “ I mean, stunning!“ Such
a difference between those two words – stunned or stunning. When I tried to
look at the picture later under my CCTV Reader, I think that the first opinion might
have been more accurate. Yes, I will post the picture here so that you can form
your own opinion.
We had a very good Christmas with family and my hope is that
each of you had the same. I am also posting a picture of Lyle and I with our
little granddaughter, Lexi. It has been a great year watching her grow. She is
a delight.
Soon it will be New Year’s and the time for some of us to
make resolutions for 2017. Mine will be the same as last year. I want to
upgrade my technical skills so that I can be more in line with the times.
Playing with my phone was fun, but I know that there is far more that I can
accomplish with my computer if I really put my mind to it.
Following are the two promised pictures – my selfie and the
one of Lyle, Lexi and myself.
