Sorry it has taken so long to post...actually, I was just emptying out my email inbox and happened to find it. Hope you enjoy! It came with the following text:</p> <p>"Good news is that I truly outdid myself this year with my Christmas decorations. The bad news is that I had to take him down after 2 days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever. Great stories. But two things made me take it down.</p> <p>First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost wrecked when they drove by.</p> <p>Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn't realize it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was one of many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn't take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard."</p> <p><a href="http://www.doityourself.com/" mce_href="http://www.doityourself.com/"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-478" title="download" src="http://lisacavephotography.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/download.jpg?w=225" mce_src="http://lisacavephotography.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/download.jpg?w=225" alt="" height="300" width="225" /></a><br /></p> <p>TTFN SDG</p>Lisa Cavehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00098330625587564424noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6870626969141293307.post-79448906277527869532010-01-19T16:19:00.000-05:002010-02-15T14:45:22.608-05:00Wild Bill's - A Fight For Charity<object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8830126&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8830126&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/8830126">Tex Johnson MMA Fight Video</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user2787476">nabphotos</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p><br />CONGRATULATIONS, <a href="http://nabphotos.wordpress.com/">NELSON</a>!

There were some upsets and some accurate outcomes; but while watching I was also <a href="http://www.toejumper.net/surf7/surf7.htm">surfing</a>. I found a site with some great videos on photography. I was so enthralled I watched every video during the course of the day, making a list of things to remember, purchase and throw together to make location shots a bit easier. <a href="http://www.prophotolife.com/about/">Jim Talkington</a> puts together some very user friendly ideas and was very enjoyable to watch.

He told me the Canon 5D Mark II had been ordered but he wasn’t sure it was actually going to make it here in time for Christmas. So last night we had dinner, opened gifts and sent the girls off to bed. Then, of course, Santa got busy. He said he had to collect things from all over the house; so I did my stuff first and went to bed. This morning, I rolled open a note from Santa which read:</p> <p>“Dear Lisa, My Canon elves have been very lazy this year. I asked them to deliver one of these (picture of camera) to me so I could give it to you, but they failed. Something about a tax increase to pay for healthcare. they see no reason to work harder only to get it taken away. I’m sorry, you probably don’t want excuses, only a camera. I promise to deliver it as soon as my elves get back to work. If they don’t deliver soon, I will start firing them and find others who are willing to work. Hope you aren’t too disappointed. I promise it will be here soon. Love, Santa”</p> <p>As he begins to open his stocking I want a photograph of him; so I grab my camera off of my tripod, where I left it last night to remotely shoot candids of us opening gifts. It feels a little heavier than normal; but I just got up and am not really awake. (That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!) I shot off a couple of images of him and daughters; but when I went to review the images I shot, the back of the camera was very different from my 40D. Anyway, to make a long story short; he replaced my camera on my tripod, including the bracket and light, and replaced it with the new camera. I was shocked, not only at receiving this special gift on this special day, but that he was such a good actor in the entire process. Thanks, Santa, I love you!

This is the 3rd time in less than a year that I've had it in the shop. I never took our PC to the shop! I thought MACs were supposed to be superior products; what gives? I'll post pics to the fights as soon as I get my computer back. In the mean time, I hope and pray you all have a blessed Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
