Here are this week’s questions:

1.  Can you remember your first camera? The first camera I ever used was one of my dad’s older cameras, an Argus 40 Box Camera. Later on I used a Kodak Instamatic X-15 126 cartridge camera. In high school I bought my first 35 mm camera, a Minolta XG-7 (which I still own). I have been using a Canon EOS Rebel T3i DSLR camera since 2014.
2.  Can you remember when you had your first mobile phone? I didn’t own a mobile phone until, I think, around 2002/3. I believe it was a Motorola similar to the MOTOROLA MC2-41h11 talkabout.
3.  Can you remember your first car. If you don’t drive, can you remember your parent’s car? Before I mention the first car I ever drove/owned let me tell you the first car I remember my dad ever driving. It was a 1949 Ford Tudor 2-door Sedan. [My dad had a model 1949 Tudor Sedan he painted to look exactly like the one he owned at one time.] The first cars I ever drove was a 1962 Ford Galaxie (manual steering) and a 1967 Ford Galaxie 500 Select-a-Shift (all 2-doors). The 1967 Ford Galaxie 500 later became my first car.
4.  What was your first job as an adult? The first job I had after high school was as a nurses aide at Alvarado Convalescent Hospital. ( I took nurse aide training my senior high of high school, however, I didn’t manage too well with the science courses so never became a nurse.)

Gratitude:

“Everyone enjoys being acknowledged and appreciated. Sometimes even the simplest act of gratitude can change someone’s entire day. Take the time to recognize and value the people around you and appreciate those who make a difference in your lives.”
