It was so nice to have the kids visit in early July. We're looking forward to seeing them again before they return to Colorado. I'm spending my free time now scrapbooking (digitally) the pictures that were taken while they were here that short time. I've slowed down, but I still enjoy that creative gene I have.

Boy do I get a kick out of the funny things my granckids say. Since the print is so small on this layout, I'm copying it here: Chelle said: My kids still say the funniest things! Today Mason said, “I realized something today. My Chick-fil-A uniform is made out of 100 % recycled plastic bottles. That means SO MANY lips have been ALL over these clothes!”

I failed to get a group picture while the 'kids' were here. So, I worked on one a bit. On July 4th, we had driven over to the ice cream shop that we usually visit by boat. You might see evidence of that on Oliver's face. At present I can't remember why we drove instead of taking the boat. We did take it out the next day. I should have some layouts later about the fireworks.

I can't believe how long it took me to make this layout. It shouldn't be hard. I've done this for years, but today I just don't seem to have it together...and my computer is doing crazy things. I'll have to get my computer guy (husband) to check it out when he has a chance. Anyway, there are not many of us ORU girls left in Ohio and one who is, Becky, is away on vacation.

Just checking in to say I plan to post a layout tomorrow. I've been totally too busy, but I think I'll be back on the mark tomorrow.

Just a quick post before breakfast...The kids have arrived. Here is a picture of them on the swing .

Just checking in so that you know I am alive and well. It has been a very busy 5 days since I last posted here on the blog. But during that time, I finished and sent to the publisher my latest book entitled, IT WAS A GOOD YEAR ...for flowers. We spent Sunday with friends in church and for lunch. Then Sunday night, our son and his family came in from Colorado. Naturally we've been busy since then making more memories for the next book.
