June 29

My grandparents used to have hollyhocks growing along the fence at the back of their big yard.  At family cookouts, my cousin Michele and I would make dancing ladies out of olives and cocktail picks with hollyhocks as their big full skirts.

Today I got a new camera.  Anne helped set it up to get me started, but I did figure some things out for myself.  I was able to stop the beeping every time you did anything.  The flash doesn't fire every single time now.  And I took my first panoramic shot.  Very cool for a total amateur like myself....  Mary
