Before and After
This week, we had a cousins reunion to work on our family tree. The most wonderful gift of all was a large portrait of my great-great grandmother. She was quite beat up when I first got her, but with a few hours of work, I think I've fixed her up nicely. Can't wait to share it with everyone. I can't wait to see what my mother said about my work.

Thinking on a Thursday.
I so am going to start writing here more. It has been at least 6 weeks - I've missed my blog therapy.
To bring you up on what I am doing, well the easy answer is sliding slowly into oblivion. Between school, my children, my husband - baseball, no basketball, hockey, dead people (ancestry) and work my life is pretty much insane. My school is busy and almost finish - well at least this part of it. The kids & my husband are a constant so that really isn't out of the ordinary, except that my husband is working constantly on influencing their sense of humor in ways that can only be described as LOUD. Baseball - can't I just say TEXAS RANGERS and leave it at that? No basketball, ugh.....hockey, I feel weird that it is hockey season without flipping channels to watch basketball during the commercials. Work - well work is work. I've been there 16 years so it really isn't that bad, just different. The company has reorganized a bit and with the death of one of the founders.....sigh.....its sad to go in sometimes.
I still get out and take pictures on a regular basis, but I find that I have less and less time to be creative. I'm looking forward to a break in school so that I can concentrate on all I have gathered in my brain and do something with it. Hopefully, I haven't worn my brain out or burned up too many brain cells stressing about stuff that won't matter tomorrow.
