Fortune Cookie

With the trouble we have been having with our oldest, this fortune cookie really hit close to home. The fortune cookie said "Do not dwell on differences with a loved one - try to compromise. Also Theresa sent a quiz for me to do and this is the results. What kind of scrapbooking item are you? It seems I am PAPER! I think it is pretty right on.

You are an all natural basic person who likes to act as a foundation to others. You are willing to take a backseat in most of your relationships and let others take the spotlight, while you show your support and help them shine! Underneath it all, you are the one who makes it all happen. You are the focus and stability in any group, even if you are not the leader. Others look to you to set the pace and provide ideas for ways to get things done. But Paper Beware - sometimes you get a little edgy with the people who look to you for support and can give them some papercut remarks that can hurt their feelings. Remember to watch what you say, because you are best when leading by example.

Someone Other than Drew

I have been without a computer since Friday evening and finally got it back this morning. I didn't realize how addicted I am to my computer. And my email was almost out of control. The guy who fix my computer said I was about a hair's width from having a major hard drive crash. I feel really lucky to it working so wonderfully now.
This was a celebration of my youngest grandson JD at his 2nd birthday. He is only about 6 months younger than Drew.

A FuNnY TaLe

Yesterday Drew and I ate at McDonald's. We were almost finished eating when he pointed out the window and said a chicken crossed the road. And I said yeah right. I came to find out that a rooster(chicken to Drew) was indeed walking around outside of McDonald's. I found out that a evening shift girl's husband the night before had a rooster escape from his truck. The group of people there that afternoon thought he was relating something that I had read to him. He definitely got a few laughs when we all discovered the rooster. I'll learn to believe him from now on. Bye for now!

Strawberry Pickin'

These pictures of Drew were taken late May of this year while my daughter and I were strawberry picking. He was almost eating them as fast as we were picking them. But they were really YUMMY!

Ideas Are Flying

I wasn't sure if I could do the required 3 layouts and 2 cards and then try to put together 10 layouts for the Legacies Superstar Contest! So far the ideas keep coming (keeping my fingers crossed that it stays like that until I get #10 done). Now if I can just find the time before and after I have Drew during the day and try to work on this in the evenings. I just I won't be posting too many layouts until I am done with this contest.

I do love coming on to see all the posts my scrapbooking buddies have made of late. So at least I will be checking them out. I might post a few pictures since I am trying to take better pictures both with film and digital. If they are really good they just might be kept under wraps for the contest.

With Alot of Help

With alot of help from a real sweet guy I got my really messed template fixed. It is now looking like I want my blog to look. I guess I shouldn't worry about such minor things with what has gone on this past week. My heart goes out to those families who lost their loved ones in that horrific plane crash in Sullivan. Someone else we know lost his fight with cancer this week. And this very afternoon we heard that a friend of my daughter's 11 year old brother was missing since last nite but was found safe and sound soon after we heard about it. I feel so blessed to have the family I have and cherish each moment with them. Life is sometimes so brief that I promise myself not to sweat the small stuff. Try a random act of kindness, or kiss a loved one, praise someone for a good deed and be sure to thank the good Lord for a blessed life. God Bless.
