SuperPizzaBoy loves that movie and laughs hard. It&#8217;s fun watching him. Sorry, no pj photos folks. I don&#8217;t think SuperPizzaBoy would mind, Sweetie would. Anyway, after the movie he went off to bed and then Santa came (wink, wink, to all the parents out there). Santa ate the two gingerbread cookies and was nice enough to leave a note.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/6572638849\/\" title=\"IMG_7524 by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_7524\" height=\"375\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/6572638849_ef1a002a06-300x225.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next morning, coffee and more gingerbread cookies.

She gave me some 120 film for the Brownie, the shutter worked, I cleaned up the lens as best I could and snapped a few pics outside. If I can find a place to process the film, and if there are pics halfway presentable I&#8217;ll share them. The fisheye camera will be interesting I know the flash is powerful. I took a pic of Sweetie and she reeled. I think I could stop the Russian Army with the flash.
