  • we’re back!

    It's taking a while to get back in the groove…300 plus photos to sort through.  Almost as many memories.  A terrific trip!  And yesterday the bathroom was finally completed.  Yay!  The studio is not quite done but I'm close!

    As you know, Shannon and I would take a photo together on the dock while up at the lake.  In honor of that tradition all of us girls gathered, with pink visors from Mom, in remembrance of her.  Here I am with my daughter, my sister-in-law, my nieces, and my Mom.  And below, *evidence* that I got up on skis.  Not done with the style Mom does it but after three years I impressed myself by getting up on the first try!

  • she’s still got it

    Many of you know my cute little Mom so I thought I'd share this awesome shot.  Looking at her you'd never guess she is 70.  Back in the day she and her brother used to do that fancy trick skiing stuff – like Mom climbing way up the pyramid.  I know, crazy!  I remember my Dad and my uncle CARRYING us in their arms as they skied around the lake when we were kids.  I know, even crazier!  So here she is, from last month, taken by my brother:

    We are off to visit my entire family….it's my parents 50th anniversary!  I'm sure skiing will be involved.  Hopefully I still have it.  I'm sure I won't look as good as her…..or the Go-Go's ;)  *waves goodbye*

    Between reorganizing the studio (not done yet) and the bathroom renovation (just started) I was happy to sneak some time in for the self-imposed assignments of preparing the next crusade, and working in my RT journal.  We had a stellar turn-out for No. 42, hope you'll come play with No. 43.

    man-oh-man, i will never let my studio get messy again.  so much has been tossed out, alot set aside to be filed, piles of things finally put away.  i am nearly done.  LOVE my new studio table Graham made and my intention is to have at least half of it clear every evening.  omg, i have so many terrific supplies and i am giddy that i have gotten things better organized.  loved having the freedom of summer – no schedules – to make this happen.  i'll be back soon 🙂

    It's thundering outside now so I'm back to being held captive by all this junk in my studio.  If you saw this place you'd never know I was making progess, but I am.  In fact, most of my studio is now in the living room – making room for Graham to build me a new work table this weekend.  My hero!

    When I'm not sorting through bins of stuff, I'm out at the pool with the family.  I love light reads in the summer – the kind you can pick up and put down.  You know, fun stuff.  Lynne made a suggestion to me that looked so good I pre-ordered it with the author's previous release.  I'm skipping around through both of them.  Really hilarious.  I may write to Rob and tell him I credit DD for my marriage, and meeting G.  If you are an 80s product, check these out.

    Love is a Mix Tape, by Rob Sheffield

    Was it last summer I read this one?  I think so…Lisa put me onto it.

    Eccentric Glamour by Simon Doonan  Simon always delivers.

    And a few years back, fell in love with this one.  I think Marylinn introduced me to Nick.  You saw About a Boy didn't you?  He wrote that.  *note to self* get more NH books.

    Songbook by Nick Hornby (should have come with a music cd!)

    What fun stuff are YOU reading?
