Guess who decided to show up!

So, you'd think cleaning out your car would result in everything coming out of it, right? A few straw wrappers, a jacket, a couple pairs of shoes, and, in my case, a few pottery pieces from work that are waiting to be glazed as well as a large bag full of pottery tools, clay, and an apron, which I carried to my pottery throwing class in Mesa a couple months ago.

By now, I'm sure everyone who knows me knows that I lost my beloved camera some time just after Saunders and Katie visited us in September. I wasn't so upset about the actual camera missing, but rather, the memory stick that was in the camera. The camera was going through some psychosis, or even worse, a bit of Alzheimer's, and didn't really function properly all the time. About half the time, when I turned it on, it would power on, open the lens, and then power off with the lens still extended and open. So, like I said, the camera wasn't really what I was missing. The memory stick was filled with great pictures, great memories, great experiences! And I lost it.

Well, as a result of cleaning out my car this afternoon for the second time since September, I actually found the damn thing. It had slid waaay up underneath the driver's side seat and decided to camp there for as long as I let it. I know! I actually found my camera!!! Here are just a few reasons why I was missing it so much:

Vicki and Grandmama visited us, and we drove upstate to see the Grand Canyon:

Grandmama treated us to a helicopter ride over, through, and around the Grand Canyon!

A pretty shot I captured as we stopped on our drive out of GC Park to check out the scenery:
A typical evening at the Jones house:
Saunders and Katie visited, and we had a great time at the UGA v. ASU game!
Got a little sun and had a lotta fun.And who could forget, the amazing Sedona car ride? I have a goal to take a road trip with Katie one day because of THIS RIGHT HERE. (Be sure to watch the entire video, at least twice! You'll miss a lot through your laughter if you only watch it once, I promise!)

So, needless to say, I am very happy to have been reunited with my good ole trusty Sony Cyber-shot. Hello, long-lost friend! Even though you've got some mechanical issues you've been good to me for a long, long time. Hello, long-lost pictures! I'm so glad to have you back, safe and sound.

Now, leave me alone about losing my camera! I knew that I had it all along, I just didn't know where. I told you it would show up some day!!!

If you ever find someone's lost camera, go to this website: I Found Your Camera. You could return a lost camera to its owner! I like to check this site when I think of it (not very often, probably a few times a year), and it's funny, happy, and "awwww" kind of feeling when a camera finds its true owner again.
