All the Pretty Pictures

Posted on November 12, 2008 - Filed Under Guatemala, Simple Life | 2 Comments

Do you see them? No? Well, imagine that you do. Photos of two little boys squealing over an earthworm . . . two kids tackling their somewhat older (5 years old) cousin and tickling her to death before taking a bite out of her hand . . . Dorian cooking some lovely flowers for my lunch . . . Dante flopping like an angry rag doll on the concrete because he wanted to go out with his papa . . .

Yeah, so the camera still has no cable. And those nice All Saints Day shots? Well, they came off Irving`s laptop, where you can insert the camera`s memory card to download photos and stupid me, I only transferred the All Saints Day ones to my computer and then his power cord died.

Is it just me or is there a pattern here? We ordered a new power cord for the computer on ebay because the copycat ones here just suck. So that`s coming. Someday. Kodak is being a typical Guatemalan business . . . “it`ll be here tomorrow. Or the next day. Or maybe next week. Well, you`ll DEFINITELY have a new camera cord for Christmas. New Years at the latest.” Maybe I should look on Ebay for that, too.

Anyway. I assure you that I`m still taking photos. In fact I took 143 yesterday. Of kids playing on trikes, fighting, looking at bugs, hitting each other, playing ball, kicking each other, climbing on Zanelle, biting her, bouncing in the back of the pickup (didn`t know a pickup could be a trampoline, now, did you?) and having tantrums. It was a good picture day. And I`m going absolutely insane that I can`t share them with you guys!

So, today is a wordy wednesday. :P
