A Day With J

I am once again scrapping my cousins little girl. I've been pretty lucky this summer to spend quite a bit of time with her and her cute kids. I have some pics. of her son that were taken the same day and then I watched the Twins on Sat. so I got some great pics. of them. I just love scrapping pics. of kids. So many fun things to choose from. This is a potpourri of supplies. Some things from the July TSM kit and some things from other TSM kits and some Sassafras from my stash.

These Are The Days

I got to go to Tennessee last week to spend a couple of days with my Grandpa. He is 94. We had a great time listening to him tell stories of when he was a kid, when he was dating my Grandma and so many other things he told us. We laughed so hard because he is so animated when he tells his stories. I have always loved to listen to him. I brought back quite a few to share and a few new phrases too. These are days I will never forget.

Wildflowers

I came home one night to one of the best suprises ever. My 23 yr. old son had picked me a bouquet of wild flowers and left them on my kitchen table with a note. Those are the things that touch my heart and I will never forget.

Camp Ground

We recently went on a short little day ride on our motorcycle. We went down to a place where Steve's cousin has a cabin. Took a couple of pictures of the tall grass and the little lake there.

My Little Boy

For all of you who have been blessed with a son or sons I hope they always bring you the same pride and joy that my son has always brought me. He will be 24 yrs. old in Nov. but he will always be "My Little Boy." I couldn't be prouder of the man he is turning into and I love him more every day.

Please Forgive Me

I know one thing it is a good thing puppies are cute. This little stinker chews, bites, runs through flower beds. But she's just a puppy right. The key is surviving that puppy stage and trying to teach them not to do those things. And I thought kids were tough. This paticular day she got into trouble for beating up my hosta. Couldn't resist a picture after she got in trouble. She knew she was bad. The journaling reads"You have children. You raise them. They get married or buy a house and move out. Suddenly you find yourself all alone. What do you do? You get a puppy. Lucy is for the most part a ray of sunshine in my day. But this paticular day she found herself in trouble for jumping, laying, chewing, whatever she could think to do to my hosta. I got this picture after she had gotten in trouble. Who could resist that face and stay mad for long. she looks like she is begging for forgiveness."

Celebrating 5 Years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5 years ago I found myself in a place I had never really thought I would be. I was told I had breast cancer and needed to have a mastectomy and chemo. That began a long 3 yrs. of surgeries, chemo, more surgeries and just all around worry and stress. But by the Grace of God and the support of my friends and family I am here to say I am a survivor. In May of this year I officially became a survivor. So to celebrate some of my family and I went out to a Bandits game "Paint the Park Pink." I have to admit there are times I forget that I even had cancer. But that is only because of God's blessing to make me healthy again and the love I have recieved from everyone. Yes I fought the fight but I never would have won it alone.
