Update

[lblanchard]

I edited and uploaded the last of my vacation photos. All 461 of them. All that remains is to make a few edits to the text and upload that in day-size bites. (I come by this honestly. The Aunties kept trip journals, too, although they pressed flowers, purchased commercial postcards and did little sketches instead of wailing away with a digital camera.)

We have workmen in the house right now, ripping out the loathsome jalousie windows in our dining room and kitchen (at last! after thirteen horrible years!) and replacing them with windows that can be tilted inside and washed from the inside.

Roy shot six rolls of film while we were on vacation, and also put 150 frames on his Blackberry. We can't figure out how to upload them to the computer, although he can always email them in batches, I suppose. His film (Provia and Velvia, not Kodachrome from The Last Brick) is back from the processor's. He sorted slides and we looked at about 60 last night. We had both forgotten how much we enjoy the kachunk sound the carousel makes as the slides change. O nostalgia, punctuated by a carousel bulb blowing out and the realization that we just installed our last one.

That is all.
