Just a Little More of the Fun I've Been Having

I created this slide show using PhotoShop Elements. I think this is a great way to keep all those digital shots you're not really sure what to do with, but can't get yourself to delete.

The main character is my beautiful daughter, just being herself.

The music is "For the Beauty of the Earth" from Chris Rice; Living Room Sessions. Awesome CD. Great sheet music for my fellow pianists.

No pictures were duplicated. Honestly.

No tulips were harmed in the production of this movie.



Just Couldn't Resist

After writing that last post I just had to scrapbook it.



Always a Reason to be Thankful


The other evening I was heading out to a meeting and my father had come over to watch the children until Mark made it home. I was scurrying about collecting things and Dad commented, "You look just like your mom, always on the run." I hurriedly replied, "There just never seems to be enough hours in the day." Without missing a beat, Brent added,
"Well, just be thankful you don't live on Uranus. It only has sixteen hours in a day!"

Of course that followed with a conversation between Brent, Devin and Opa, about how they may have shorter days, but their years are longer, so maybe they actually have more time.

I didn't hear the final conclusion. I still live on earth and had to run.


Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day
listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky,
is hardly a waste of time. ~John Lubbock
