It's 4:05 am and I can't sleep. I must have to much on my mind, millions of things I need/want to do. I have been thinking about my friend Gloria, her daughter & family have been transfered to London for the next few years. They leave in August.. I need to plan a trip to see her. Better yet a trip to meet her somewhere, no one in their right mind plans a trip to Houston in August.

The full moon has been linked to crime, suicide, mental illness, disasters, accidents, birthrates, fertility, and werewolves, among other things. But all we are waiting on is a healthy baby boy. He is due to arrive on the 22th, but he is showing signs he will be here sooner. His family will be happy when he gets here, we are very excited.

I want to make some of these beautiful banners. www.pamgarrison.typepad.com. I saw Pam Garrison on "That's Clever" and July's Summerset Studio magazine.
I hope I can find some time to try... My schedule has changed again, maybe I will have time now.

Over the weekend we biked some of the New River Trail in Virginia. It is beautiful we traveled 2.5 miles from Gambretta to the New River Bridge. On the way we travel through an old train tunnel dark, cool, & smelling of creosote. Bailey had the best time on the tag-a-long, she just peddled along ringing her bell. I hadn't been on a bicycle since I can't even remember... and my rear feels it. We only did 5 miles but it was enough for the first trip. On the way back Jim & Tara decided to race to Fries... with the backpack and the keys. While waiting for Jim & Tara we met Cowboy Wayne, his friend Jackie and their beautiful horses. The kids had such a good time feeding and petting Beau & Black, I think the horses had fun also.

What a wonderful weekend we had... fishing, riding, swimming with the kids... then we found a snake skin on the deck at Katmandu. The kids thought it was cool.

Some of the people who inspire me.....
Next week I'm headed to Lake Lanier, my daughter is moving into her first house. After living on a boat for several years, living on the land is a new experience... having more room and plenty of storage... I think we must go shopping to celebrate :)
I'm a lucky woman... I get to spend a lot of time with my favorite people ... after a few hours in the office I'm at home watching Bailey and Tina playing paper dolls. Listening to them it's hard not to laugh...they both really want to be fair but only if it means they have the same or more than the other.

Happy 230th Birthday America....what a great day to begin a new blog. Watching an episode of "That's Clever" (one of my favorite shows) I saw some great artist and their work. I wonder what inspires them.. so I have started "trying" to looking at things differently.
