      Time really does fly.  I still think of Kirsten as a "little" girl in your layouts.    Twenty-one is almost a grown up, well it really is!  Happy Birthday and best wishes to her.

      Yes, how is it our grandchildren get older and we stay the same age?!😂 Contratulations to your grandaughter reaching 21.

      I love Dave Cross's classes! I got some really discounted ones from CreativeLive! I learned a lot from him. 

  10. Our house has been a mess since Feb 20 having new tile put in 3 rooms...well last one was supposed to start today but is delayed as he is putting his mother in alzheimers hospital. Oh well what can you do. I feel sorry for him, he is such a wonderful man.Oh well it will be worth the wait.

      I'm glad you are being patient with him; he has bigger problems than laying your tile. But of course you want it done and the mess gone! It will happen. Meanwhile photos of the mess will make great layout pages for Project Life, LOL.

    3. Celestine

      Celestine

      Bless your mess! I hope it gets done soon and your tile professional is doing okay. It is a tough thing to deal with Alzheimer's.

      I'm sure my family tires of me saying, "it is what it is" - but sometimes it just is! Hope things go quickly when he's back.

  11. Oh no, my PSE keeps crashing...It better not make it so I cannot keep up with the 100 days. I'll try a reinstall.

  12. Whoot whoot My rank is now Veteran...I wonder if I can get the discount at Home Depot and Lowes like my husband gets....LOL

  13. Yeah. We finally finished painting the house, it looks great. Mark my words I will never paint it again. I'm sore in places I didn't know I had. 70 is too old to be climbing a ladder!!!!

  16. Our grandson got his drivers license yesterday so he can drive himself to work and school. He is so happy to finally be able to drive his truck that he got almost a year ago. Safe driving Tyler.

    1. MariJ

      MariJ

      Congratulations, Tyler!  But, seriously, "little" Tyler olde enough to drive?  That's almost as amazing as you saying Kirsten is 20!  Time really does fly...  

    2. Florida granny

      That's exciting! Congratulations, Tyler, and safe driving!

  17. I'm getting so many notes..the fire at the Seaport Mariana in Mystic was not where we kept our boat but next up the river. So devastating.

     

    1. MariJ

      MariJ

      Oh, that's awful Debby.  I didn't hear about that.   Hoping that everyone is safe.

      Oh no! That's sad to hear.

  18. Wow the gallery has been flooded many individual members lately. I thought there was limit to how many could be posted at once.

      I noticed that too! It definitely makes it hard to leave comments. 

    3. MariJ

      MariJ

      It's a pet peeve of mine and is usually Designer CTs and it does make it hard to leave comments on member pages or even find them!   Yesterday I was commenting on pages, came back very quickly and everything was buried by a 9-layout post.   It's discouraging at times..  

    4. A-M

      A-M

      I totally agree with all of you. Angie was made aware of this sometime ago and she did ask Designers to pass on the message to their teams.  99% of other digi sites do not have any gallery layouts showing when you go to the forum so with those you need to go to the gallery to see what is new. But our gallery here is set up different so you cannot see what is new straight away. 

  19. I posted the November Photo Forum Game is posted. Lets have some fun with photos.

  20. I'm an enthusiast --these ranks are pretty fun...just sayin!

  21. Our Grand Adventure is over. 131 days, 11,400 miles, 24 different campsite, over 10,000 photos, so many exciting adventures. The US is very beautiful.

      Oh, I wondered how everyone replied with it still down in the Forum but I see now how!   That is some amazing trip Debby and the numbers are mind-boggling.   For sure the USA is gorgeous in so many different places, so many different ways and you did so much of it.  Thanks for sharing with us, I'm enjoying riding along.

    3. Celestine

      Celestine

      10,000 photos ! Oh my goodness! I am sure we will see some of them in more layouts!

      That an impresive amount of photos and miles , what an adventure.

  22. We are so lucky we have no damage at our Florida home. I feel so bad for all the people who were affected.  There is so much devastation. Thank you for all kind comments

      @mimes1 That's good to hear.   We've actually had a lot of rain and strong winds yesterday and now today which my (amateur) weatherperson sister tells me is from Ian!   She showed me the radar about how it's heading east again, it was over PA last night so we're getting it in it's travels.    I'm glad you all were ok!

    3. scrapgarden

      Glad to hear nothing catastrophic happening from leftover Ian!

      That must have been a huge relief, Debby. ???

  23. Getting nervous, not sure if we will have a home when we get back to Florida. We are just north of Tampa and only 1/2 mile inland. Starting our return trip from CT to FL on Friday. Good luck to everyone in Ians path.

      Will be praying your home is safe! In any event I'm glad you and your family are out of harms way.

      Yikes! Stay safe, nothing but good vibes & prayers for y'all!

      When I heard about the storm, Debby, you are the first person I thought of, wondering where your home was situated. I am so sorry to hear that it is in harms way! We stayed with friends in Punta Gorda when we travelled to the USA in 2007, driving across the country in our RV. They took us over to Cayo Costa in their boat. We spent a lot of time in that part of Florida so I know it well. I really hope that your home escaped serious damage. It is a very worrying time. 

       

       

  24. 3 months on the road, 9000 miles so far. We will be in CT in 2 days to be with family & friends for Sept. This country is very beautiful.

      Send some of that rain down here in Texas! ;)

      Rain is in big demand in so many places.    And it's been such an unusually hot summer and still gong strong, I can't remember a day under 90º and humid at this point!  ?

      Have a wonderful day my dear <3
