Stacy, do yourself a favor and get yourself an external hard drive. I got one at Wal Mart at Christmas time. For about $100, it will back everything up that's on your computer. It comes with the usb cord. stick one end in the external drive. Stick one end into the computer. It does what it has to do without any help from you. When it's done, you unplug it. Next time you feel compelled to "clean" and screw up the pictures, or anything else, everything will be safe and sound on the external drive and you can put it back on the computer yourself.

It's like film, only for digital cameras. A genuine memory stick (as opposed to a flash card, SD card, etc.) is used in Sony cameras. JoanMN/FL

That is so great to hear! I'm glad you finally got a weekend with Dad, and without the "But are these towels 100% pure Egyptian cotton?" woman. I don't know; why do I get the feeling that she was trying some control thing with your dad and trying to get him to cancel? You'd think that after he went without her, she'd have had the good sense to not publicly announce her "Fine, I'll show you" plans to the world. If she thinks she's going to start playing power games with your dad she might find herself surprised and dismayed by the result (fingers crossed!)

When we go back we will take the good camera, hopefully it can capture more of the colors than the iPad. With the light hitting the stone it really did a number on the colors captured. You can see some of the browns in the top picture from their website if you look near the white spots. Some of the medium grey is that mossy sage green color. I know the granite guy had said a natural cherry or just about any brown would look lovely (I had already told him we aren't doing painted cabs). I admit I wasn't prepared for finding a stone, I may well have just been carried away and not noticed enough detail in the coloring. It really was spectacular in person! I am very much looking forward to taking some doors back up there, hopefully next week. I appreciate the feedback, I will go with an open mind. I didn't have much of a color scheme in mind, other than I wanted medium to dark cabinets. DH wanted dark floors, dark cabinets, dark granite. I was not a fan of the really dark granites he wanted, but this one is dark enough for him, not predominately brown (he does not like brown), and I really love all the colors. So we will work backwards from there!
