Boy, does that ever look like a perfect day! Beautiful page that brings a smile.

Cormorants, whatever their name, are such interesting birds and you've got a super page for the shags. Really like the blue design under the large photo.

Wonderful shot in flight! Very handsome birds and page.

Looks to be a good day here but heating up soon. Still haven't seen the movie but we have it for a week. Chris, hope the Dr. has some answers! Nancy, your trip pages are so beautiful and I really like seeing the birds now. Hope it's a good one for all!

This looks super! And I look forward to all the bird pages from the trip.

It was sad to lose the old clematis, but it is nice having a native plant. Just wish it were still blooming. Credits: all Anna Aspnes -ArtPlay Palette Hearth -ArtPlay Palette Enamored -ArtPlay MiniPalette Milestone fonts: James Fajardo, Minya Nouvelle

You all sound so busy, and I'm still trying to decide what to do today (or which library to visit.) I too can't believe July is about to exit and, yes, lamenting the shorter days already! Oh well, have to get it in gear now. Hope all your weekends are happy and good weather. I've got to pick...

Oh my, what a beautiful scene! Love the page with the pop of color in the boat and the postmark, too.

It's afternoon again with off and on light rain. The yards are getting so brown here we really need some. But, I'm waiting to photograph the new drawing until it's better light. Chris, the class was one I was taking. It was a pretty advanced topic on writing up complex genealogy problem...

Chris, thanks so much for the standing O on my college garden page! Made me very happy.

Good afternoon, all! Last week I was off to Pittsburgh for a week-long genealogy course. The week before spent a lot of time getting ready. Just getting back to scrapping a little. Also have a drawing nearly done. Chris, I've been reading your medical saga with such sadness that it all keeps...

Afternoon all! Hope it is a great Independence Day for those in the USA (and the pets survive it!) Nothing special for us, I even did my normal Monday financial stuff and bill-paying, oh joy. I do seem to feel better though, so thankful for that. Nancy, that trip sounds fantastic! Looking...

I may feel a bit better and the new month's challenges have gotten me scrapping a bit too. Chris, you know we want pix of the new hair color! As for fireworks, we usually get ours on the TV, so Laurie's way sounds great. Hope it's a great time for all.

Happy Birthday, Vera! Hope it is wonderful. :cheer2:
