Family, baseball and freebie

It was a beautiful weekend. I spent most of Saturday visiting family. I went to Judy's (my sister) house. She is an avid reader so I took her a bag of books. I also went to see my Mom & Dad. Mom had a box full of towels that she was planning to get rid of so she had me look through them to see if there was anything that Ashleigh would be able to use for her apartment. I think I ended up bringing home 3 bath towels, a couple of hand towels and a stack of washcloths! My mother-in-law has some stuff for Ashleigh to look through so hopefully when she is home next weekend we can find some time to do that.

Unfortunately the Atlanta Braves games are usually televised on a channel we can't get but Sunday they were on TBS so I finally got to watch them!!! And they won!!!

Wow....

It got up to 82 degrees today! It felt wonderful!

I took a couple of days "off" from blogging and when I come back I'm over 2000 hits! Wow....

Wednesday I did some spring cleaning. My daughter is getting her first apartment in May so I emptied my kitchen cupboards to see what I could give her. I came up with a pile of stuff for her to look through when she comes home from college this weekend.

Our local library is having their used book sale next week so I spent Thursday morning updating my booklist. And, yes it took all morning. If you could see my list you'd understand. It is 24 pages long! I have a list of my favorite authors and all the books they have written. If I have the book I draw a line through the title...after I read it I highlight the title on my booklist and then pass the book on to family and friends to read. At this time I probably have over 1000 books....I know what you are thinking...if I have over 1000 books why do I need more? At today's prices a paperback costs about $6 or $7 dollars so if I can get a book at the book sale for under a dollar I can't pass it up!

Mother Nature & A Layout

Mother Nature is so cruel! Last week we had sunshine and temperatures in the low 60's. Weather that gave you hope that Spring was here! This morning when I got up to take the dogs outside it was only 20 degrees! What happened to Spring? Did I miss it?

I made this layout for the Deco-Pages Photography Challenge and used photos from one of last summer's camping trips. When I look at it I remember the summer and it gives me hope that it will arrive soon.
