GRAYSON SAYS "Mmmmmmm"

Today was a great day. John and I started off by cleaning out the herb bed and I hosed down the back porch. Boy, I have never seen that many dead bugs in one place! Yukko!!! Later this afternoon the kids all came over. We BBQ'd country style ribs, hamburgers, baked beans, corn and red potatoes. To top it off, I had made one of my kids favorite desserts; DIRT. To those of you who have no idea what I am talking about, it's a concoction of vanilla pudding, cool whip, cream cheese and crushed Oreo cookies. The baby even said, "Mmmmm". We sat around Grayson's little blow up pool, in our lawn chairs, while soaking our feet in the water. There was a lot of laughing and talking, just like I like it. I took pictures and did a little video taping, but I'm too tired to post it all now. So, tomorrow I'll hook up the camera and download a little of our fun to share with all of you. But for now, it's good night and sweet dreams.

WHERE OH WHERE DID MY INPIRATION GO?

OK. It's been six weeks today, since my surgery and all is well, but when I walk into my scraproom and see piles of STUFF, I get overwhelmed! I seemed to have lost my desire to whip this room into shape and set up shop. I even went to Michael's the other day while out, thinking it would get me going. NOT! I came out with nothing, not even one small purchase! No inspiration, no ideas! Notta, nothing! Eeeeeek.
