IT'S SPRING! TIME TO TURN OVER A NEW...











I know you all thought that I would never update my blog, but seriously, the last ten weeks have been a steady, boring, long, dark spell, centered totally around my bed and my bathroom, interrupted only by the fun weekend spent with those cheery fellows from Neerings (and I wrote about that!) so you haven't missed a thing. But now, I have had three days in a row where I have been out of bed, dressed, and today I actually drove myself to the doctor and walked -no wheelchair - into his office. So, three cheers for me!


I have spent most of this week scanning photos and organizing photos and backing up photos and... well you get the idea. It started with a simple project of lining up photos of my sister Dawn from her childhood to the present so I could put them into ecards and drag out her 50th birthday as long as possible. I think I've succeeded in helping her remember (every single day for a week) that it's coming this Sunday.

And that project led to finding all of the current photos of the grandkids and making sure I had scanned all of those before I put them into their frames. By the way, all of the new photos from Christmas are in their frames now and need to be displayed, but the Nativities are all still up from Christmas because I've been kinda bed-bound. If anyone wants to come and help me wrap up about 600 little pieces, I'd appreciate it.


And that project led into making sure I had a good sampling of photos scanned and printed for my Grandma Brag Book that I carry in my purse. After printing all the studio shots, I went looking for some of the more candid cousin shots. I love to see the kids play together. And that's what most of these pictures are here. If this let me post more than 5 photos at a time, I'd have so many cute cousin pictures. Maybe now that my photos are in better shape, I'll just post favorites whenever, even though they're not current.






So now that I am feeling well I hope to start getting out and seeing people again and going places again and, well, just being different. And after the last 10 weeks, anything different has got to be good.







Aren't they all cute? I know Max and Noah aren't here, but they're on my facebook page.
