My Camera and The Flower

Yesterday, I went with my wife to COSTCO.

As I walked in I saw a new casio camera zx 850.

This is the new model of my camera that broke. I looked at other makes of camera's in that price range but most don't have a view finder.

The price was $379 and I know they just came out with a suggested price of $400. so I left my wife there and went down the street to Comp USA which is where my camera was bought - returned - and I had a gift card.

Comp USA did not have it and according to their computers--was out of stock and unavailable.

So I plead for mercy and they cashed in the card. But would not give me the warranty money back. $45. is what I spent for extended warranty.

I returned to Costco and asked about their warranty's.

They don't charge for any warranty and if it breaks return it. Unless it is obviously abused.

They had 18 in stock.

I opened it immediately upon arriving at home and it looks almost the same but just a little larger. It came with a small memory chip 256 and a camera bag.

It is sitting in the charger at this moment and I'll send photos today or tomorrow.

It has been since Jan 27th when the first camera broke. Since that time I have been disappointed that I didn't have a camera for those special photos.

But Now you will be complaining and everyone else about getting more photos from me. this camera has a manual and a cd for instruction.
--------------------
Today:
I'm playing with my new camera.

I tried using the Macro lens on this flower.

I don't know what I'm doing but it turned out nice.

We have Tulips and flowers all around the house.

Maybe later, I'll take lessons from Mr. Photo Magic and improve on the flower photos and other photos

Jessie is Married

Hi Everyone,
Today it happened.

I showered, went to Panerra and then to the Golf Dome to meet some guys and hit some golf balls.

Luckily they were not there and I could work on my back swing and follow-thru without worrying about impressing them.

---------------
The Newlyweds
Mark & Jessie

While hitting the golf balls, my cell phone rang.
It has a Polish polka sound for the ringer.

It was Jessica, my daughter, informing me that she was married.

I congratulated her and called her Mrs. Icusss and she laughed and said the wedding was really nice.

They went to get married yesterday but only got a license.
So returned today for the ceremony.

She sounded happy and that’s what life is all about, isn't it.
--------------------
I felt good too until something happened.

I was taking a break from hitting golf balls sitting on a chair looking at others hit some balls.

This short stocky man about my age walked up to me and said something wonderful, no not about Jessie.
"You have a wonderful swing" it’s so sweet

Wow, I thought I was happy after talking to Jessie but now my chest was pushed out a little bit further. Almost past my stomach.

I don’t' know how to take a compliment and started talking to him about golf.

I returned to the golf balls and hit some more.
I needed another break and returned to my chair.

Suddenly, Tony,
who had a wicked outside-in swing causing a big slice sat next to me and he also said "Hey you have a great looking swing"


Now, I took my fingers off my wrist (feeling my pulse) and stuck my chest out even further---actually it might have been out further than my stomach.

IMAGINE THAT.

I felt so wonderful, except for being worn out, that I went and bought 6 coconut donuts and 6 white frosted long johns.

On the way home I ate a donut and a half and a long john. When I got home I ate the other half donut and 2 long johns.

What a way to celebrate JESSIE ICUSS' wedding and 2 golf compliments.

c'ya at US OPEN...

jim---I now have a real Son-In-Law--elliott

Ps: today the new Mr.& Mrs. Mark Icuss are driving over here to drop off their car and I’ll drive them to the airport.

I took their photo and its pasted above.

On their honeymoon they say they are going to Jackson Hole Wyoming.
Hey, they like it there.

I can't wait to tell them about the two golf compliments....
