It's been awhile

Well, I don't know what to say except it has been extremely busy with this new business I am a partner in. As well as going back to Pennsylvania to work on our house that we are building there. I used to say, that I was going on vacation, but it is not a vacation. We work from the time we get up till the time we go to bed almost every day that we are there. This year was no exception, although we did get to see our youngest neice on the Himelein side graduate. We went and watched the Findley Lake, fireworks, and went to our best friends' grandson's 16 year birthday party. But, those were squeezed in and we were so tired, I don't know if I really remember much about them.

Then, this year, I hurt myself while helping with the house. It was really stupid, but I was helping to hold a board that was heavier than I should have been trying to hold. Gordy was telling me to back up, and we had holes that had been drilled (not the right word) for posts for the porch that were open and I backed into it. My whole right leg went into the hole, as it was 4 1/2 feet deep. I twisted my ankle and my hips, because Gordy was holding the rest of the board, I had to help myself out of the hole. It's been almost two months, and it's getting better, but still very sore.

My oldest granddaughter started middle school this year. My youngest granddaughter at this point is starting 5th grade. It's so hard to see them grow up, yet exciting as well. My beautiful daughter, celebrated her birthday last night and we had a good time with her family. Her husband surprised her, because she thought he was working and he put it all together for everyone to come in except for us, we got there early. She thought her Dad, and I were taking her and the girls out to eat. It was cool to see her face as everyone showed up at the same time.

I have been scrapbooking, but not as much as I probably should have been. I will post some pages this weekend. I also ordered a new camera, it is a panasonic lumex FZ-30; I can't wait until it gets here..... I am hoping sometime this weekend or the first of next week. The pictures it takes are wonderful. One of my partners in our business, has one, and lent it to me for when we were back East. The pictures were awesome, as my other partner always says. I am hoping to get some of my recent pictures put in scrapbook pages soon, but I am also working on heritage pages. We'll see which one wins out this weekend.

Thanks for stopping by :)
