Hmmm, that adventurous day sounds very interesting! Looking forward to seeing. My week was pretty tame after a week away.

I did this with a baby picture (wearing a cute shirt with this slogan) but don't have permission to share it. Instead, this is a house on our street as it celebrated the 4th in 2008. Credits: background a blend of papers from -Photographed in BLACK & WHITE by Sue Cummings and -Black and...

Oh my, Lindy, what a beautiful week!

Oh, wow! This is so stunning in both colors and shapes.

Now mine is done too.

Good for you! Not only is this week done, but it's another gorgeous one. I've got mine put together, but have to get the writing in it.

Gorgeous! What a wonderful combination of photo and background.

Trudy, thanks for asking. This is a week-long genealogy institute with six classes offered. I'm taking the one on writing the immigrant ancestors' stories with an outstanding genealogist/writer/teacher. Laurie, glad the weather was better for you. My stiff joints were happier today too.

Thanks for the link. The images are haunting, but a little too close to home given how close parts of Cleveland could be/have been? to that.

Thanks, Chris! Since I'm never normally awake this early it's another opportunity to pop in and say Hi! Time to head to breakfast now though and then another day of class. What fun for this old lady to be back in college for a week. Hoping everyone is doing fine and has a pretty a day as it...

Keeping everything crossed for a successful outcome!

Morning is long gone, but with so few comments, I can at least say Hi! I'm still at the college in Pittsburgh having a great week and class. Hope everyone is doing fine.
