the camera that was lost/stolen over a year ago has been found. one of jerry’s student’s dad has a shop downtown and the camera had been sitting there since october 2007. it seems as though someone (i insist it wasn’t me, though) set it on a speaker (the dad was the sound guy that night) and he took it back with him. looking through the photos they figured out it belonged to us!
oh, it was like finding a roll of film in the back of a drawer.
the timing is glorious. my replacement camera (the exact same model) has been dropped twice at preschool and i had to hold down the power button to take photos.
i feel like i got a new camera again. gracious.
