I discovered how fun it is to record video on my little camera
I have a little digital camera that evidently records video! I guess I knew it did but I had never done it and didn't want to take the time to learn how. I found out how by accident while touring a boardwalk through the Corkscrew Sanctuary in Collins County Florida, near Naples. The little dial on top of my camera got turned while in my purse so when I went to take a picture it recorded video! What fun. I played around with it but have not gotten my technique down yet. This bit of video is 30 megabytes and was fairly easy to upload to the blog so I thought I'd give it a try. It moves a bit fast.
I love to visit boardwalks when I travel so if anyone knows of any, please let me know. Thanks
Please remember to email pictures to me to post on the blog. Also, send your favorite recipes. We now have recipe section. Look for it on the left column.

A wonderful time was had by all!
The annual garden club potluck at Cynthia's, hosted by Cynthia and Alma, was a rousing success despite the cold weather. The food was fabulous, as usual, and the company was warm and delightful. We had a fun time playing the dice game to distribute gifts and an even better time opening each gift in turn. Rosemary got away too fast to get into the picture. Sorry about that!! We left a space for her between Lucille and Teresa!!
Kris handed out the new 2010 yearbooks. They look great, full of colorful pictures of flowers and gardens. If you were not present, you can get your booklet at the January meeting.
Janet handed out an announcement for the Last Chance holiday craft, gift and bake sale which will be held Saturday, December 12 from 9am to 3pm at 23285 Hwy 87 (watch for signs).
For wonderful last minute gifts, try Mary G.'s Log Cabin handmade soaps at Village Floral in Grantsburg or at the Gallery in Siren.
Have a fantastic Christmas and New Year. We will see everyone January 14 at Crex Meadows Wildlife Education Center, 7PM.
