Oops....I started several posts and saved them as drafts because I wanted to go back and edit them....then I never did. Sorry!

We've been camping at Cardinal for the last week and later today are heading out to Lazy Lakes until the 28th or 29th. Ashleigh came home Friday and stayed until Sunday. Saturday we had my parents' and Lee & Ann Bennett up for supper. Casey came up yesterday and is going to camp with us until the 22nd.

This cutie is the son of one of the girls that plays on Crystal's softball team! I made this layout for the Color Line Designs August 2008 Color Challenge. I couldn't get the layout to upload so I figured I'd post it here and try to upload it at Color Line Designs in a few days.

Random stuff

Wow....I just looked at the clock and saw that it was almost 12:30 pm. Where did the morning go? Well, I suppose getting up 9:30 am and having your 'morning' only be 3 hours long might have something to do with it. Usually we get up earlier than that but we didn't get to bed until 4:30 am....I dragged Rick out last night at around 11:30 pm to go to Walmart. If I am going to go shopping I'd much rather deal with employees restocking shelves than crowds of people.

But back to this morning.....I folded a load of laundry and gathered all the darks and started another load, took Devon for a walk, made a list of the stuff I'll need for Saturday (Crystal is having a cook-out for Casey's birthday and I'm making coconut macaroons, glazed oatmeal raisin cookies, macaroni salad and a vegetable tray) and sent Rick to the store, worked out for an hour, took Devon for another walk, downloaded our bank statement and started balancing the checkbook....and now I'm writing in my blog. I guess for a 3 hour morning I haven't done to bad! LOL

Layout: Mabel & Genevieve

This is Rick's great grandmother, Mabel (Welch) Marble and her daughter Genevieve. Little Genevieve died when she was just 4 years old and we think this is the only photo of her.

For this layout I used Art Nouveau Surprise by Paris Designs at Deco-Pages.

63 years.....

~

Today is my parents anniversary. They have been married 63 years! This is a layout I made for them last year.

Journaling: In August they will have been married for 62 years…and, they have experienced it all…richer, poorer, sickness, health, good times and bad. His eyesight is failing and her gait is unsteady but together they face life, gathering strength from each other, hand in hand.
