Welcome aboard, DeeDee. I'm also a Minnesotan; I live in Rochester. I
don't get to MOA very often -- I'm not big on shopping, especially if
there's no fabric involved. My daughter & I do the Race for the Cure
every May, so I do make a trip to the Mall then, though I let her drive,
as she lives in Burnsville and shops there often.
You can have your photos put on a CD when you have them developed and
then you can upload them to Webshots or a similar site fairly easily. If
you're ever in the market for a new camera, some of the digitals are
really simple and make it real easy to upload photos. Meanwhile, I guess
we'll just wait to meet you in person and see your photos and maybe even
a quilt or two.
