Is everybody on vacation or something?

Did you do anything special on your vacation, David?

Nope, not on vacation. I've been pre-occupied with a bit of a family emergency and finals week! But, I'm in the clear now, so it looks like there are some articles for me to read in the spare time I get now

Suzanne...yes I did, as a matter of fact...and one was orchid related that I made a post about earlier.

I bought a new camera on day.

On day 2 I went to the show at the AOS headquarters in Delray Beach...I brought my avatar chid (with 3 spikes) and received my first AM award (this was the post I made) on V. Erika Cizek Dann 'David's Black Pearl' AM/AOS.

I had a guest visiting from up north over the Thanksgiving holiday and we went to Key Largo for 4 days and went snorkeling at some of the reefs there...This was way cool, as I have never done this before.

I went orchid shopping one day...

I hung out and went to the movies...the new James Bond and read a book for fun.

And I spent a whole day in the Fakahatchee taking photos with my new camera (I made a post about this too)

Oh...and I went to a show committee meeting for my local orchid society and was officially hired to be their photographer next March for our show (I'm also doing other things as part of the committee, and putting on an exhibit for the show as well).

So, that's it in a nutshell...and now it's time to get back into my normal routine...whatever that is!?

Thanks Sue

The family emergency is all better. My Dad got into a skiing accident and broke several ribs, punctured a lung, fractured his pelvis and shattered a thumb I went to get him from the hospital, they kept him for 6 days and he stayed with us for 3 weeks until he felt able to get around and take care of himself again. He's recovering incredibly fast. The irony... he has been on the ski patrol for over 20 years and is an excellent skier!

As for finals... they are over, but not exactly the grades I was hoping for Oh well, under the circumstances I shouldn't complain!

Now it's time for some good old fashioned Christmas spirit. Now I've got 4 weeks off, and we'll see if I can resist endless orchid shopping....
