We played Monopoly Jr. tonight and I took a couple pics while playing. Boy do I have a lot to learn about my camera!! I know what all of the different settings are on my camera (aperture, shutter, etc) but I just need a bunch of practice. It is much harder for me inside of my house because of the lighting.

Something else I keep forgetting to write about. Anyone get those emails about Target, that they are french owned and they don't donate to vets etc.?? Well my family has become aware of the fact that we do not shop at Walmart anymore and it was brought up and Christmas. They were talking about how they don't shop at Target because of this email they recieved. Target is my FAVORITE store so I had to find out the scoop myself so I did some research.

It was all lies started by a man who who was upset that Target did not give donations to people who just walked in and asked! He has retracted his statements but his anger got into the wrong hands and someone didn't do any research and distorted everything and in perfect timing with the issues of France and the war claimed the company was French owned. The company was started in the 50's and has always been american owned. I am just asking people to not believe everything you read and do your own research, especially in emails!!

Here are some links to go to about the whole Target thing:
