Hi,  Hope your Thanksgiving, harvest celebrations plans are going well. We are just thankful for everyone to be getting well again. My little boy had a fever of 104.9! He missed a whole week of school! I am very grateful he is felling better now. Here is a Gr-Attitude Paper set for your Fall Layouts. I'd love to see your creations! Stay well and enjoy your weekend and my freebie! You can now find me on Facebook.

First Day of School

Really. The first time in PUBLIC school for either of my children! This wouldn't be so unusual for my son, who is four and actually starting VPK. It is unusual for my daughter who is starting her first year of High School!!! I like the schools and I feel great about them going. We are so lucky that Diana's bus stop is right next to the house. Edmund's school is close too. I love this town.
Diana got admitted into an awesome program and we are so excited for her. Congrats Diana and Edmund!

Happy Valentine's Day

Hope that you've had a nice day with those you love. I received some lovely roses, which are my favorite! I tried to post the pic from my iPhone, but have not figured a work-around yet. I'll keep trying to get it right.

Merry Christmas!

Updated Post! My gift to you is a link to Ed's great photography blog. He has loads of inspiring images to browse. I hope you've had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. The link I wanted to show you on Christmas is here. Here's hoping the link works now!

Grateful Heart

It is with a grateful heart that I say Good Morning to you. I am one of many who enjoyed a wonderful day with good company and good food and shelter. I'm grateful for moving to a new city, that I love; into a new home near the shore; a pleasant walk on the beach with friends; sweet beautiful children, a nice, funny husband, thoughtful family, good health, so much abundance of material stuff that I can give bunches away and still have "enough;" a slice of the best pumpkin pie I've ever tasted made by the great chef in our family (see photo), my son's inquisitive heart, my daughter's thoughtful insights, my husbands quick humor, my Dad's unbounded knowledge, insights and patience, a whole family full of talents and qualities I admire and most of all that I am lucky enough to be here to enjoy it and a thousand other generous gifts this world has to offer when I make the effort to appreciate it. You have to accept a gift, by appreciating it. I appreciate it and I appreciate your stopping by. Thank You!

Please read Stacy's blog, she has something wonderfully grateful to share, go to the link she has and see how you can share your gratitude in a meaningful way.

Right On Track

Moving right along, we decided to focus on what we wanted. We wanted to live near the ocean. We wanted to be done with the concern over selling our home. We accepted a low offer and sold our home. We found a new rental home near enough to the shore. We moved everything out of both homes into the new one. Now my task is to settle in and to release all the unnecessary items I have accumulated, to make room for living! Hopefully the storage unit I rented yesterday will help facilitate my effort Best get Back on Track!

Library of Memories - All About Us

I have been taking this years annual Library of Memories 16 week non-chronological scrapbooking class with Stacy Julian. As part of our All About Us, Personality page, I created this LO to share Ed's fun personality. It has just been snow much fun to play with the "Winter" theme here in Florida. I am amazed how much this class is changing the way I scrapbook. I highly recommend her books: "The Big Picture" and "Photo Freedom."
