Whew, I've been too busy lately!

I just want to catch up a bit with what's been happening here. I'm done with physical therapy 3 days a week. That's good, but now I've got to set up surgery for my shoulder. We were hopeful that PT would be enough, but no such luck. And the SI joint that went out during all this fun finally went back in place on it's own, after 2 weeks, despite the efforts of PT.

I finished the scrapbook for my cousin's daughter. It turned out great and she loved it.

We celebrated Derek's 26th birthday. He says he's now closer to 30 than 20, kinda sad.

I went to a women's retreat and taught card making and mini scrapbook classes. I really had a lot of fun with all the ladies.



I managed to squeeze in some short design time here and there, but not what I really want to work on. I've got some ideas rattling around in my head. Fortunately, they are not causing headaches.

Now I'm trying to get Parker family reunion stuff out in the mail. Not getting any help with the planning or executing of all these taks.

Pat & Kat sent me flowers for Mother's Day on Thursday. That was a surprise! Here they are.



I've tried to play with my new camera,a Nikon D90, but have had very little time to get acquainted with all that it does. Here are some of my photos and remember you can click them to see larger versions. I would suggest looking at the larger ones. They are awesome!

And then there's parties, graduations, birthdays, Mother's Day & yesterday was our
33rd anniversary. It's just been crazy around here.
