Downloading Pics

I finally started downloading the pictures from June on from last year. Only 436....my poor nephew would flip to know I had all those on my blackberry. If he's reading this: I promise I am going to delete all but a few this evening!!! Memory will be restored! ;-)

What was so bizarre was watching my year -from about June - when my nephew last erased all the junk on my phone (well, priceless pictures that were not being treated nicely).

Flash, flash, flash, flash - 436 times - my year that has just gone. 2009 saw 3 trips to Africa, 2 trips to Georgetown Infectious Disease Center, 1 TB test and my heart being touched by God a million and one times.

2010----????? I will simply say prayers.

Use enough flour tonight? :-)

One of the things I love about living in Old Town is how much of a community it is. I know my neighbors. I meet them in the post office. I see folks I know here and there as I run around Old Town.

I even know most of the homeless folks. My favorite is the woman who over the years has changed her approach a bit. She first liked to heckle me to try and give her money. Then one summer she changed her modus operandi started complementing. Be it a pair of earrings, a skirt, the blouse I am wearing, it "looked nice" in an attempt to procure money from me.

The small townishness has a downside. Last Sunday there was a knock on our door. DH went down to answer it, assuming it was the gentleman who clears our walks when it snows. I heard him say "I don't know you and I am not giving you money." It appears someone followed me home.....

Not really unnerving, but I am not comfortable with having her show up at my door.
