the case of the lost camera

Tamara · October 18, 2004

Some of you may remember that my mother-in-law couldn't find her one-use camera after our cruise to Alaska last May. Lost and found at HAL reported that nobody had turned it in and she was very upset at the loss of the photos that she took on our cruise. She was going crazy trying to figure out how she could have left it behind as we did a very thorough check of all the closets, drawers, etc. before we left the ship to make sure that we hadn't forgotten anything. Well, she went on a little trip last weekend and took the same little duffle bag that she had taken on our cruise and what do you suppose she found in one of the pockets? She feels like an absolute idiot (as well she should, perhaps) She had checked that duffle bag a dozen times for that camera. She's very happy about finding it. Sigh, I do love a happy ending.

Tamara - that is great news! Things like this have happened to me before - you search high and low for something and you swear you have checked everything and it is nowhere to be found. Then, weeks later, you find it EXACTLY where you searched for it before! Sometimes I think I am not meant to find it until a later date and time..................

Great happy ending for her! So glad to hear it was only misplaced. Hope her pics came out great.

Tamara,

That is so great. I'm so happy for both of you. I am sure she'll enjoy those pictures even more now.

So glad she found the camera. Now she has her memories. I know what it is like to lose precious pictures. Not my fault that was one of the factors in me purchasing my first digital camera. Too many times the labs would lose the pictures. So they give you a free roll of film, but that doesn't replace your memories.

Been there - done that - menopause mind and all lol. I seem to be misplacing things all over the house. Good thing this computer is plugged in. Glad you found the photos - now you can relive all those happy times. TTFN Jennifer

It's great that she found the camera. After all, wthe main reason that we go on vacations is for the memories. The way she lost it, could have happened to any of us. :rolleyes:
