We got our camera back from the camera doctor last week. After a frustrating couple of days we finally called the company that should have called us several days before, according to our Internet tracking system and sure enough they'd had it for a couple of days already. Small town businesses sometimes leave a lot wanting! It didn't have a phone number on the package but really how hard is it to type a name into the yellow pages and wait the 2.2 seconds until our phone number comes up. We are the only Griggs in town! Papa made sure they got and wrote down our number in their contacts book so hopefully when the camera gets sent back again this time we'll get it when it arrives in town.
Yes it has to be sent back. The zoom works fantastic (why we sent it off in the first place) but now it refuses to admit there is a memory card in it or store photos at all. Not much use as a camera with actually storing a picture. I can take them but they just don't exist. Are we happy? NO! Did we call and talk to them, yes and they tried but can't do anything over the phone. So will we have a camera for a certain 4 year olds 5th birthday...NO! I'll use my iPad and my mom is bringing her camera so it won't be a total loss, but it just goes to show...all our planning ( the gap between J's birthday and R's birthday has the biggest gap in birthdays until after J3's birthday in July! ) and it still doesn't always work the way we have planned. Makes me wonder what God has in store for us to learn from this. I wonder if we'll ever know :) I just hope we get it back before L's birthday in April.
So I'm very sorry to have to tell you we will all just have to put up with the iPads picture quality until our camera is once again home to stay. Hopefully sooner rather then later...till then squint a little when you look at the pictures...lol...and have a fantastic day!
