Q: Is swimming good for your figure?

A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.

WAHOO...I found it!

I found my camera! Well actually K~ found it, but still I am so excited.

This whole time I thought B~ had lost it. And technically she did. My sister in law had borrowed it. She gave it back to B~ one day when they were out running errands. Well yesterday we went for a drive in sister in laws SUV. K~ unfolds the very back and THERE IT IS. Right where B~ must have left it!!! About TWO MONTHS LATER.

I am sooo releived. I use this camera for work too!
Now I can quit borrowing everyone else.

Why I LOVE Dolphins!
