So heres the deal . . .

    I was given a new camera for mother's day.  This one is supposed to idiot proof easy for me to understand.  But the problem I found isn't with the camera (I have been able to take the pictures just fine) it is something that happens, or should say doesn't happen, between the camera and the computer. I know I am to blame.  It is my fault, so if it's to be fixed it is completely up to me to do so. The issue I have is I am running out of ideas of how to get that done.   I have had my husband, my daughter, and I'm embarrassed to say I have even paid someone to help me - but it just doesn't click.
   I CAN NOT DOWNLOAD/UPLOAD (whatever!) MY PICTURES!
   I have one solution but I am afraid is like waiting for a cure for the common cold (probably won't happen in my life time).  Have you ever bought anything from Ikea? Everything you have to put together comes with these uber easy to understand directions.  Basically they are little stick people taking you step by step through the entire procedure.  The print is huge, the steps numbered and if you get stuck you just call for help.  Think 'manual for a kindergartner's crayola box'.  Brilliant!
      Now in contrast to the wonderful Ikea example I have given you this is what my manual looks like.

      Seriously, I am toast. And this blog may just become a casualty.  Sad. I would of rocked as a 80s women, but I'm not holding my own very well in 2010.  Any suggestion?   Remember keep 'em simple!

The Fruits of My Labor (literally)

Tomato Jam

One of my first berries.  A proud moment.
Actually one of my only berries.  Still scratching my head on that one.
