To all my dear friends, The lost is found. Thank you all for your concern. I found the camera in a closet in this little office of mine. I use the closet to store this, that, and any thing else except clothing. The camera case was right in front but in a dark spot and couldn't be seen. Believe me a light will be put in there, asap. My desk lamp was on when I opened the closet door which showed enough light to create s shine on the case. I am grateful that I can stop worrying about the carpet man.
Gummy too, you are so right about sleeping on it. Also I do have a "hunter", - my daughter. This was the first time she couldn't find what she was looking for.
God Bless all of you and thank you again. Hugs, jd
