The UPS man delivered my new camera this afternoon. He also brought the Civil War Pension file of my 2nd great grandfather, Eli Yarian, that I ordered about six weeks ago. The camera won out over the pension file as the first to be opened. Nice, lots to learn though. Eli's pension file is "only" 147 pages. So that will take some time to go through.
Oh, and my passport came via snail mail too! It only took about three weeks. Now I'm set to go traipsing around the world when the mood strikes. ;-)
A bit overwhelming, and I now have blurry vision and a headache from reading so much, but I could take a few more days like today!

Fun, fun, fun, Becky! A red-letter day for you!
Expecting a camera review soon. . . ;)
Good things come in 3's!
Well? So where's the pictures? I expect to see a whole gallery uploaded to Flikr by next week! LOL!
Good for you, Becky. Enjoy! (and share)
Yeah, where's the photos? I was expecting to see at least one. ;-)
Thank y'all. It's been so much fun playing with the camera. I really don't think anyone would want to see any of the pictures I've taken with it so far, just playing, besides I deleted them all ;-)
I'm not the type of person who can just pick up one of these new-fangled cameras and start working with it. I need to know, at the least, what some of the buttons do and what those weird sounds mean. I was hoping to get outside this afternoon when the sun came out for a bit but didn't. So you'll have to wait another day!

The ability to comment has been turned off for all blog posts effective 21 May 2018. Kinexxions has been inactive for more than two years and most comments have come to me directly via email from readers but more than a few were simply spam. My desire is to keep the blog available to the public since there is value in what has been published, particularly posts dealing with family history.
I am still extremely interested in hearing from readers who might be related and have questions or simply want contact with a distant cousin. Please contact me directly via email at kinexxions@gmail.com
This action is also being taken partially due to the General Data Protection Regulation aka "GDPR" going into effect on 25 May 2018. Even though it is a regulation implemented by the European Union that primarily affects businesses and corporations, it governs how data about people can be used. That includes comments left on blog posts, thus the ability to comment is no longer available.
