LOAD 3
Layout number three! I went to my friend Marlene's blog and lifted this design from an Easter page she had done. When I saw it, I knew it would be perfect for this series of pictures of Allen golfing in the back yard. I think he looks four in these pictures but his mom says he is only three. So there you go. Mom is always right. That makes this the summer of 2005. This layout also qualifies for the October journaling challenge at OSU where we are to use punctuation in our title. Thanks for looking! And thanks, Marlene, for the layout!

July Layouts
I woke up early this morning with my sleep bank full, so I quietly moved to my scrap room and got to work. It's 9:00 and I've finished three layouts today. My mojo is back! This first layout is a simple, everyday picture of David and me napping on the recliner when he was about 16 - note the hair - that helps me know how old he was. These papers are from a previous Scarlet Lime kit, letters and numbers American Crafts, yellow flower I think I took off a package a while ago and then today I added the red flower from an old SG kit. Leaves are made from SU ribbon, die cuts and green felt trim from SL, ric rac and transparency from stash, ink SU. I know the transparency is hard to read here, but IRL it isn't.
These are not the best pictures (pre-digital), but they are the only ones I have from this event. Elizabeth sang with her elementary school choir, McKinley Singers, for a couple of years. I think she is 12 here - that would make this 1999. Not putting a date until I can get her take on it - she always remembers better than I do. In the last one, I am up in the mezzanine looking down at the kids. Papers and rub on and red flowers SL, yellow flower Prima, blue brad and ribbons SU, swirl and letters AC, star brads from stash. Corrugated paper and journaling block SL.
We got this silly picture from the golf tournament we played in May. One of the sponsors had this photo shoot set up on one of the tees. The top left picture is the folder the photo came in. Not sure what Australia had to do with anything but I liked it. I don't think we even had the camera with us that day. Terry was in charge of the tournament and I kept busy helping him until it was time to golf. Then we just had a fun time. Papers are from stash and the new SL that came yesterday, sticker and foil chipboard from SL, lace and flower and bling from SG, letters AC, button SU, ric rac and transparency from stash. Journaling block SL. This layout really does have a white border all the way around.

Golfing Today
Seems like Saturday today. Terry and I golfed in the Adjusters Tournament. We left the house at 6:30 this morning and didn't return until around 4:00. He is on the association board so he had business to take care of. I helped sell raffle tickets. That was fun because I got to meet so many people. Two guys from Simplot completed our foursome. One is a former golf pro. He gave us some great tips along the way that made a big difference. Nice guys and we really enjoyed their company.
(Hole 14 - lily pads in the pond, and hole 3.)
I was a little worried about spending the day outside because of this allergy I'm struggling with. We golfed at Shadow Valley and it is such a beautiful course. Flowers are everywhere, the scent of pine is heavenly and just outside the course is a lot of sagebrush and natural vegetation. Everything is gorgeous. My nose ran the whole time, but I actually feel better. The drugs are helping too.
To top it all off, we had amazing weather. The day started off a little chilly and we golfed in our jackets. I kept mine on until about the eighth hole and then I only wanted it when we were riding in the cart - too much of a cool breeze. I eventually ditched it altogether. By the time we gathered for lunch, everyone had donned sunglasses and visors and there wasn't a jacket in sight. They served a barbecue for lunch but so kindly made a tuna sandwich for vegetarian me. The raffle was held during lunch and we won a hammock. Now we just need to find a place to string it up so we can bask in it this summer. (I was really holding out for the fire pit!)
