Welcome to Rhonda who became my 51st follower.
I've been home for a week now. I had hoped to log on and blog a bit sooner but despite taking two cameras and three memory cards with me on holiday, I had no access to photos! After several false starts to recover the photos, I did at last find a reasonable digital photo recovery program and have recovered at least half of my photos. I lost a second memory card,and so those images will forever be lost to me.
If any of you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I can recommend the reasonably priced "Digital Photo Recovery (DPR)" software. It allows you to download a demo program before you purchase and enables you to preview how many of your photos are recoverable. Also the recovery program doesn't modify or overwrite your original data. I tried several free programs (File Scavenger, Recuver and some others), including those with demo capabilities before purchasing DRP software. None of the other programs recovered anywhere near the photos I had taken. Even the DPR program did not recover many of my photos but enough were saved to make me feel that some of my holiday memories were captured. Now enough about photo recovery.
The main purpose of this post was to say "I'm back" and "I missed blogging - a little". But mostly I wanted to send you the very warmest wishes of the Christmas season.

So glad you are back I missed you. Very sad about your photos, but I hope that you have managed to recover most of them.
I hope that you have a very Happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year.

Same to you! Have a wonderful Christmas :) xxx
Thank you RACHEL. I pray you recover quickly so you can enjoy the holidays :-)
DIANE, those are very kind words. I missed you also :-) I didn't recover most of my photos but I did manage to recover almost 2/3 of them and that is much better than none! Thanks for your Christmas wishes also. I wish the same to you and Nigel.
Hi Penny;) were you here in Africa? Glad you're home safe and sound and I was also thrilled to see you commenting on my posts this week. May you have a blessed Christmas and experience a closeness to the Lord in 2011. Thank your for being such a beautiful person. I love following your blog. (((Hugs))) Jo
Welcome Back Penny - and a Merry Christmas to you too.
Hi JO, I was in Africa. At least, I was in Kenya. I didn't make it to Tanzania and to Uganda as I was hoping. I simply ran out of time. Thank you for the Christmas wishes and the nice words. They are much appreciated my friend. God bless and keep you and we'll "talk" in the New Year.
Thank you GRAHAM. See you in the New Year!
Merry Christmas to you dear Joyful !
Peace, love and joy to you and your loved ones...
I'm so sorry to hear about what happened with your photos. Hope you can still manage to recover some and show them to us...

Hello LALA, yes I did manage to recover some photos. I hope to share them over the coming weeks. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones too!
Wonderful to see you back, yes I lost a whole trip of photos once, and it turned out it was my fault. So pleased you got so many back, and look forward to seeing them.
My problem was clicking to delete when downloading, the old photos disappear from view, but they are still there taking up room.... to get rid of them and clear the card, I needed to reformat the card from the menu.
With blessings for joy and peace in 2011.
Love, Jan
Thanks JAN. It is good to be back though I always hate leaving Kenya :-) I am not yet sure whether I'm at fault for the "loss" of my photos. I think I am since I didn't remember to format the disk. However, I am puzzled since I had no problem viewing and sending some pics during my vacay. When I got home I was also able to view all my photos on my home pc and yet the next day it said the files were corrupted. I am just glad to get back many of my photos and will be sharing more soon.
Hi there Penny. I'm behind and not sure just yet when I'll have a post up, but I do hope you had a terrific Christmas- just sending some warm Aloha:)
