family stuff and general busyness

I'm afraid that my links are inversely proportional to how busy I am and the last week has been overly full. First there was Zoe's birthday on the 27th. Not only was it her birthday but our grandson Mike had a play he was in at school.

Then it was home with Mike for some cake.

And then dinner at Mike's Place.

More pictures of Zoe's birthday.

I spent the weekend adding to my camera strap site. New colors, new sizes, and a strength test on my string strap.

Tuesday we went to Tacoma to visit Zoe's mom who has Alzheimer's and is at Western State Hospital. We took food down and had dinner with her. She was doing a little better in some ways but Zoe noticed her speach has detiorated. It hit her pretty hard. It's always a long and hard day visiting Gerry.

All if that and I seem to be getting behinder in work. I did get my wireless flash trigger.

Trying to use a PC flash synch cord turned out to be a minor disaster. I won't go into that. The little starship on top of the camera is a radio transmitter and the little blocky thing is the reciever that plugs into the off camera flash. Seems to work just fine. I fire the camera and the flash goes off driven only be radio waves. They are available on eBay for $25. I got mine at Gadget Infinity. Get the version 2. Now I have to figure out using strobes. Shouldn't take more than a year or two.

I'm off to run some errands but links should be starting to appear again soon.
