photo confusion

Quick story ...

my original camera is at the bottom of Pirates of Caribbean in Disney ... the kids had a pretty heavy fall season of "cat sitting" for which they received $15 / day.  When they were done they told Daddy that they would like to use their money to buy Mommy a new camera because she didn't have one anymore.  AND...they found the magazine inserts of a digital SLR since they thought mommy needed a more "professional" camera.  The kids earned $220 and hubbie chipped in the rest for the Nikon D40 ... which is a lot of camera for someone who has been using a point and shoot for the last 7 years.  I love it, all of my Nikon lenses work on it (yes, I have to manually focus ... but I haven't had any problems) and I was once again reminded just how special my life is.
