Went to the Dayton's show!

[Peg Kerr]

No: HPFGUIDX 5117

The good news is that I got 30+ pictures with the digital camera!

The bad news is that I don't know how to download them to my computer!
(I've never used it before).

Since I've never used a digital camera, I'm not quite sure how well they
turned out--it's a little difficult to tell from the tiny screen in the
camera. The light was rather dim, and it was a struggle to get
unobstructed shots with the crowd.  The crowd wasn't all that bad,
either, since this was the first day it opened, and they haven't really
started publicity yet.  Still, I'm sure I got at least some good ones,
enough to give you an idea what the show was like.

All you merchandise mavens would swoon over the gift shop, too.  Book
ends, sheets, throw rugs, mugs, key rings, pillows, ornaments, wizard
wands, Harry Potter glasses, calendars, day books, etc., etc., and all
sorts of wizardly candy . . .

My husband, the technowiz, is at work until late.  He needs to bring
home fresh batteries for the camera so that we can safely transfer the
data, and then we need to figure out how to plug the deeley-bob into the
thingamajig and run the software to download to the computer, and then
how to transfer them to the files..

I've made a folder in the files section and will download the photos as
soon as I can (once I figure it out), and I'll give a full report on the
show, too (not now, dinner to cook).  But I wanted to let you all know
that it was SPLENDID and to get this message out today as a birthday
gift to Penny: PICTURES WILL BE COMING!  Happy birthday, Penny!
