[August 20] What a day! Taylor went to College. Brent got a job offer.
Aaron interviewed for
a new job. Jack went to Kindergarten. Adam started a new job. Sara and
I started a new semester working (Sara is back in school this fall, also,
but doesn't start till Monday), Jerry and Jim took care of everything
else.
As J, J, Aaron & I reviewed the day, Jerry said, "so this is a day filled
with good news." Aaron said, "No, I don't like days
like this." I laughed. Reminded me of what my mother used to say on a particularly
good day: "This, too, shall pass."
I discovered a new way to scrapbook. Pictures,
pictures, pictures. Adam's sunflowers, The Street Benches at Tinley,
Flower (same place), Sara and Bella.
[August 6 1:42am] Playing with the computer again ... here's Rachel.
This is a definite stumble upon. Goodnight. ..Later that evening: Grim
Reaper Sweepstakes. This song makes me laugh. It's so ME!!!
[August 5] The storms came again. Viscious winds and more lightening than
I can recall ever seeing before. The smell of ozone was strong. Read about
some
of it here. We had electricity through the whole thing but most didn't.
Griffith (where family live) actually had a tornado.
Two of the new babies were held in their mother's arms in the (same) hospital
while waiting out a "code black" because of severe weather threats.
Lots of folks didn't show up for work today because of storm damage and
cleanup.
[August 4] More baby news. Gina's sister had a baby (girl)
yesterday, too. AND so did another friend of ours, Tammy (baby boy). Hope
to add them to the page as well.
[August 3 1:15 am] - awaiting a friend's grand baby! 2:23 am .. She's
here! (photos soon). Later -- that same day...we went
to the beach, to defrag the hardrives with friends.
[August 2] I found a photo that I took of some beautiful flowers I got
for a special occasion some time ago (5/28/05). I was
inspired (wish I
had a "before" photo) to make it look that good again.
I have been going through my digital photos. This month's slide show displays
some (25) that I culled (825) from my collection (thousands!).
Photo find: This was taken in a garden in Naperville one year when we
went to see a Civil War Reenactment there. I "plucked" it from the garden
for display here.
I found this photo as I was browsing: Click on it to dive
into the discussion. [Disclaimer: This is not meant to
be THE SHACK, this is just a photo I took somewhere in time.]
