Not only am I prepping for my daughter's graduation party coming up this weekend (yikes!) but I'm also in the midst of a pity party myself. My lap top crashed. My trusty partner-in-crime and keeper of all my drafted blog posts and photos is in a coma. So until I can get tech support on it, my husband's non-portable, slower, older, and much in use desktop will have to do. *Sigh* Okay, enough of that...I've made … [Read more...]

I keep hoping I'm going to make some headway on the projects that are on my list-- or even in mid-stream! But then things get busy at home or work and they go on the back burner again. I'm very much a project person. I like the feeling of being involved in a project-- whether it's a community service, church group, work, or home project.
