Bucket List

Do you have a bucket list? A long time ago (before the movie that I still haven't seen) I made a list of 100 things I wanted to do in my life. A few items from the list: Graduate from college. Go to Washington DC & Boston. Visit a pawn shop.

Scott gave me a beautiful camera a few years ago. The quality of the pictures is so much better than my little portable cameras can take, especially on the fast running stuff. One day last spring while I was walking up the front stairs, I tripped & fell with my camera in my hand. Since then, the photos have been a little overexposed. Then, when we were on Junkanoo Beach in the Bahamas, my camera rolled off of my bag & into the powdery fine sand. At first, the lens would not work but it eventually worked out the kinks. I have been casually looking for a lens on Amazon & Craigslist. One lens was listed on Craigslist at a pawn shop about 20" away from our house. When I finally went & tried the lens (& heard about the 30-day money-back guarantee!), I decided to buy it. The cashier gave me a bonus 10% off because I mentioned Craigslist & I felt like I got the deal of the century. (80% off the new price?!) It's just the "kit lens" for the next nicer model of my camera, but the image quality is great!
