Toni's New Pool

James' quest for a better camera started two weeks ago. He wanted to surprise me! My current camera, a Kodak, has a viewing screen that I can not see in bright daylight. (As previously mentioned, I have decreased vision especially in bright light.)
So, after much Internet research, he decided to take me to Costco. They had ten digital cameras on display and in stock. Without success, I looked for a camera that was not made in China. (My regular readers will know my love for American made products - or products from any country other than China.)
We decided on the Nikon Coolpix S8000. The display screen was very bright and easy to see in the store. There was a choice of 3 different colored metal fronts - red, silver, black. I said, "Which one would you have chosen for me?" He said, "The red one." So, red we bought.
It comes with a quick guide and a large complicated instruction book for all the different features. I plan to point and click and hopefully capture some great moments from the upcoming Wyoming trip.
About the swimming pool for Toni - We know that she needs a bigger size but only the smaller size would fit in the back of the Honda. We may take the truck back to Kroger for the bigger size if and when Toni plans a pool party for Winston and herself.
These are Sunday afternoon ramblings while James is at the Sisterhood Showcase!
