End of July!

The end of July always brings with it mixed feelings for me. It is hot during the day, the nights are usually balmy. This morning I awoke to the soft rain and a little thunder to go with it. Of course, I love the humidity and the temperature was just right. This is my kind of weather. I spent a little time on the computer last night and I have been finding all the left over things that I want in my son's scrapbook and collecting them so that I can get them scanned in. I love scanning in the physical stuff and then putting it in the book so that I can throw everything away and there is no bulk. How lovely is that? De-junking and family history all at the same time!! Totally awesome! When the printed book comes, I just throw most everything out - that is the bohm!

Fresh Idea

It is the middle of summer, the evenings are a treasure. Take your laptop outside, sit in the swing or on the patio and work on your treasures as you relax at the end of day. The memories will flood back and it makes for an enjoyable evening. Even if all you are doing is playing, it is very relaxing and theraputic to stroll through memory lane.

Mid Summer

Wow, lots of Red, White, Blue and spirit!! I hope all had a lovely celebration this past weekend! It always makes me feel good to know that I live in the "land of the free and the home of the brave"! I love to express those feelings on pages showing flags and parades and fireworks. It really is fun to see and remember these days of celebration with family and friends and this year just seemed extra special. We love the good food, time with family and traditions that keep us together. Family reunions are also a great time to take some pictures and remember each other along with ancestors.

I hope that your summer is filled with love and memories and remember to take those photos so they can play in your pages!
