the original letter is much more fun and decorative--with drawings, fancy writing and all. santa will for sure be getting this letter, even if it was written almost three months in advance.
and of course, a photo, to accompany the letter. took this with my iphone today. and when i did, kiele said,
why are you taking photos with your phone all the time now and not your camera?
well... that's because my camera and two lenses are getting cleaned, checked and repaired, if needed, at canon (irvine, CA). i'm also working with steve's laptop because my computer is on the fritz...needs a new video card. definitely grateful for steve's laptop as a backup, but i miss my mac pro!
hmmm...i guess i should have included charley and the fish in this pic but oh well. and as kiele says, peace out!
