Day 11 & 12

Friday and Saturday

I went to the market to buy vegetables on Saturday! =) Sadly, I don't know very many people who enjoy grocery shopping as much as I do. It's one of my favourite activities!!! One of the things I miss about living in North America is the farmer's market that I usually go to every Saturday. All the different types of apples and squashes that I get to pick from. Plus, they are all locally grown and certified organic!! Sadly, such things are not easy to find where I am. And when I do find organic products, they are so so so very much more expensive! But, I make do with other produce that I cannot easily find in North America =p Such as: PINK DRAGONFRUIT!! Unlike the ones I've found in Canada (at very high prices!) which are white on the inside, these ones are a rich deep pink colour and are sweeter!!

Tuesday's the next chemotherapy session. There's so much we want to do before she becomes 'bedridden' again for about 5 days. I really wished I had more time. When she wanted cake on Friday, I had to go buy some because I just didn't have the time to make it. =(

Ok, I really really need to buy a camera. Any good ones to rec? Budget is about $150. And, it has to be easy enough to use because I'm truly a tech-idiot!

Hey Gertrude! Thanks so much for visiting my blog :). I really don't know much about photography. I mean, I took a class, but I can't really see a difference in the picture quality between my dad's expensive camera and mine (in fact, I think I like mine better!). So I'm no professional, but I really like Kodak cameras. I think the picture quality of Cannons isn't as good. But it's just a personal preference. My sis has a Nikon and likes hers the best, so maybe we're all just biased!

Hope that was somewhat hepful!

Love,
CCV

Grocery shopping is one of my favorite activities! Visiting farmer's markets, too =)

As for the camera, I love my Canon point & shoot. It's compact, easy to use & reliable =)

Pink dragonfruit is LOVELY!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! So sweet and beautiful gorgeous color!

I recommend a Canon Powershot. Mine is a Canon Powershot SX200, and it cost abt $300, I think...I'd say think a budget of at least $200 though...it's worth it!

We got a Nikon Coolpix camera for $120. It is great.
