New camera

I bought a new digital camera with my economy stimulus check so, hopefully, will have some pictures of knitting to share soon. I have been working on several projects and they are in all stages of completion.

My Parks and Recreation knitting class has been delayed, only three people signed up for the class so we are waiting a couple of weeks to see if more enroll.

I have been having a problem with alarm clocks recently. I had a Baby Ben that ran for years, it had a good alarm and was totally reliable. Somehow it fell off the nightstand and the back broke. It still ran so I used it for a couple of more years before it finally died. I bought another Baby Ben but the manufacturer had redesigned the back and every time I wound it I broke a fingernail. I then bought a regular Baby Ben clock which kept good time but the back of it had also been redesigned (when will people learn if it's not broke don't fix it?) and the only way I could wind it was to hold it in my right hand and wind it left handed. Still needing an alarm, I bought a battery-operated clock hoping to solve the winding problem. This clock was so cute I knew I would keep it forever but after a couple of weeks the alarm quit. I can't bear to part with it so I have it in the bathroom where it keeps me on time in the mornings. I recently bought another windup alarm which I am now using. However the alarm on this clock is on some mysterious cycle that works only one out of every three mornings and every Saturday. Oh well, someday I will retire and no longer need an alarm!
