Memories


I've been having some problems with my foot and my doctor told me I had to take a week off of work and stay off my feet. So I pondered what I could do for a week without standing on my feet so I decided to take up my scrapbooking which I had started years ago but had lost my enthusiasm for it and have 4 unfinished albums. At first it just looked like a very daunting task and I was not too enthusiastic about it. But then I started going through all the trip pictures and it brought back so many memories. I love seeing all the kids when they were little and I have gotten reenergized. Even though I am back at work I try to spend a couple hours on it everyday. I still have a long way to go! I hope I don't run out of steam before the task is done.

    scrapbooking is such a wonderful hobby, but you're right, daunting at times!! i am very much a lover of scrapbooking (have i ever showed you the one of the Fingers?) and i think it's awesome that you found something to do while your foot was healing. i hope it is doing better now :) what cute little barber kids!!!!

    You have crazy kids. You must be a great lady! Hi. Remember me? I don't think I've seen you for 8 years or so. Well, I think I met you at Union. Surely.

    Jeff, I feel as if I have gotten to know you much better through blogging and seeing your pictures once in a while. And yes I think I may have met you once but you are beginning to feel just like one of the family.
