Rainy Days and Memorials


So I've been figuring out this digital scrapbook thing, and I sorta like it! My husband may like it better in that I can scrap and not bring more paper into the house...yeah! Like that's really how it's going to work!!! Anyway, I was perusing one of the websites and came across a set for Coast Guard and I was fit to be tied! I don't think you understand how HARD it is to find things with the Coast Guard on it! My Granddad that passed away in November was a veteran of the Coast Guard, so of course I had to get it! Granddad would have been 89 this coming Wednesday, and this afternoon created a Memorial page for him with one of my favorite pictures. My dad made this picture into a 12x16 (or some such huge size) for my Grandma...she has it hanging by her bed and says she 'talks' to him every night before she goes to sleep. *sigh* I admit I struggled today...our hearts are still healing.

In other news...our creek may meet our house before the days out! It has literally rained bucket loads today! I told my chiropractor today that if this had been snow, at least the kids and I could have gone out and played! I guess we still could have but I'm not sure I would have enjoyed the laundry nearly as much!
