GOD PROVIDES A CHAIR.




Proud of that chair.
Well, how God gave it to me.

I had a chair in my "hide out" that was over a hundred
years old.  My daughter wanted it for a room she was
redecorating.  [That is what daughters are for.]  Of
course she got it.  But I needed another one.

Now being as it was for my old "hide out", out in the
woods, a nice new one would be out of place.  And I
did not want to spend much when and old used chair
would do just fine.  So, it was off to the thrift shops.

Now I am used to praying about such things so I
prayed that God would let me get a cheap one.

I found the chair above for $9.95.  That was good
enough.  So up to the check out counter we went.
After putting it up on the counter the girl said that
would be .50 cents.  I pointed out the tag at $9.95.
She told me that "Today all green tags are .50 cents."

So, she got .50 cents and I thanked God for a nice
sturdy chair for nearly nothing.

CHEAP FUN




I know.  What is fun and what is cheap???
And, like yourself, what is fun to me now would not
 have been forty years ago.


It happens that one of the things that is fun for me 
"today" is playing with cameras.  (That does not make
 me a photographer.)

For some time I have been wanting to get an old, 
cheap, low megapixel camera to play with.


So eBay, here I come.
I was able to find a suitable camera for $9.99.  
That's right, just under $10.00.  It came with the 
memory card, two batteries and a wall charger.  
All I had to do was put one of the batteries in the 
camera and start shooting.  Praise God for that.



Then the expenses begin to mount up.  From eBay
 I bought a  cheap tripod.  Yes,  .99 cents.  That 
included shipping.  So now I am at $10.98 for my 
photographic gear.  Not quite so cheap now.


All of these images on this post were taken with it,
 my cheapest, lowest megapixel camera.  Just two 
megapixels. I am not quite sure what that proves.
But I enjoyed doing it.


Oh yes!
The tripod.  That is image number one.
A mini tripod is what I wanted.  And boy is it mini.
It will not even support the camera.

So let's just call it a novelty.
But the camera suits me well for an old man's toy.
