Do you think it would be wrong?...

Sarah posted a picture on Facebook of her at an activity with her dad and stepmother. It was titled "Awesome Things I do.". So...to amuse myself I sort of altered the picture a little...I was going to post it to Facebook saying "Fun things I do when my kids are doing 'Awesome Things.' " I was advised against it though. I am not sure I agree, but just to be safe, I thought I would post it here. What do you think?
I think...I should get ready for church.....

A Recent Favorite Garage Sale Find!!!

So I was out garage sale-ing 2 weeks ago...as you would expect, and I found this really nice video camera... outfit...it had all the accessories, batteries, memory stick, carry along case, flash attachment, and other stuff I needed a new video camera because 2 Christmasses ago, while I was video taping the opening of the presents, Sarah in her excitement ran to get something, tripped on a cord and sent my video camera flying. Needless to say we didn't get to record the event.

Anyway...at the garage sale...I was looking at this camera and it looked really nice. I asked the hostess of the Garage Sale how much. She didn't know and kind of beat around the bush and finally asked me what I would give. I told her $10...you know...to get a feel for what she was thinking. To my surprise, she accepted...which immediately made me wonder if the camera worked. She said "I think so, it's not mine." Well, for $10 I figured I'd take a chance. I got it home and tried it out.... Guess what? It didn't work... :o\ Well, it worked mostly...but the display wouldn't come on.

So I did one of my favorite things...I Googled it. And guess what??? The problem was a common problem that Canon had recalled and would repair FOR FREEEEEEEE!! NOW WHO'S THE VICTIM???

I called Canon, they sent me a UPS label to ship it to them, they fixed it I just got it back today...It works great!!! Now that's a deal!!!
