  1. In a few hours I will be leaving to have Christmas Eve with my daughter and her family. Then Christmas day with my older sister and stay for two days. Following that 2 nights back in the town where we used to live to catch up with my last surviving Aunt and friends. I will not have computer access again properly until next Tuesday.  May you all have safe and happy Christmas celebrations.

  2. In a few hours my daughter and two of the grandchildren are arriving to spend the night. Grandson has a School outing tomorrow  in our area so they decided to come for the night. So,  no scrapping for me today... hope to get  busy with the August challenges next week.  Where has July gone?

      Enjoy. You can scrap anytime but time to visit is most important. Pictures will be taken then you can scrap them.

      I missed this post somehow, so nice that you get a visit from your family!   I hope you had a wonderful time and now you'll have photos to scrap.   :)  We're getting towards the end of August 1st as you start the 2nd.   It really is amazing how time flies.

  8. Just back from being away on a little holiday in our caravan. We were so close to the ocean that at night I fell asleep to the sound of the waves. It is a place we possibly will return to again next year.  Now I need to catch up on my Project Life pages.

      That's great Anne Marie.  I've never had more than a 13 inch screen so I'm used to it, but when I need to I zoom in close to see better.  I'm happy you did well and it was wonderful seeing you on the Forum and in the Gallery again.

  12. Keep an eye in the Anniversary section HERE

    as later today I will be starting my ABC Game and there is so many other fun things happening! 

  13. Ken and I were to head off on a little holiday tomorrow but plans have changed -  The highway we would need to travel on tomorrow is closed where we would need to travel on it because of the Bush fires. We decided to cancel as even if the road opened tomorrow it might be a risk for us returning home next Wednesday, plus there are other fires burning near places we would need to travel through to get to our destination.

      Much better to be safe but hope you can take your holiday later when the fires have gone. Its so bad over there from what we see on our TV. Hope the ones near you are now under control.

      It’s so scary. Glad you made the right decision.

  14. Later today ( Sunday 18th) heading off for a little 3 night holiday in a cabin in a National Park that borders onto a river and beach. Ken is looking forward to some fishing. It will be a very quiet rest as there is no TV and I will have no internet. See you all when we return.

      Awesome! thank you so much Anne Marie

  18. My husband and I are heading off tomorrow for a little 3 night holiday to a town west of us over the mountain range where we may experience a little bit of snow or at least heavy frosts. We are staying in an historic home so I hope to take lots of photos. I will not have internet while away.

  19. My husband is a very  happy man. Last week he went to the local museum which is a small village set out, to volunteer. In conversation about all the woodwork he used to do, they have allocated him a  workshop of his own to set up and use. He will make wooden items to sell in their Information centre store.  With our move to a retirement village I was concerned about what Ken  would do to fill in his days...

      my granddaughter is doing the same thing! She leaves mid-July for Kenya on a medical trip- she is in Colorado. And she also wants to be a nurse after high school.  I'll pray for your granddaughter- when will she be back home?

  22. My plan for tomorrow is to shut down this old computer of mine and start up my new one. Hoping all goes well as I am looking forward to having twice as much RAM.

      Good luck, Anne Marie.   I did that a month ago but had to totally wipe the old one and send it off for trade-in.    I was so careful before doing that but ended up with one mishap - contacts lost because I believed the Tech guy they were all there.   Should have counted them myself. :hit-head-with-hammer:  Other than that - all well.   Wishing you success.

    3. Boatlady

      I will be thinking of you ...good luck and have fun.
