Latest LO

My latest LO of my son. This one is some of my favorite pictures of his younger years. (He's 81/2 now.) When I look at his pictures from back then, I always smile at that sweet face of his. Knowing that those years are gone brings a tear to my eyes. Thank goodness for pictures.

River Clean Up

I took Peter and his friend Mark to the Musconetcong River Clean Up. They do this clean up every year. Our Cub Scout Pack always participates. The boys enjoyed cleaning up all the litter along the road near the river. It's just so sad when you see all the trash that people carelessly leave by the river.

Clown Shoes??!!

We went sneaker shopping the other day. Peter's sneakers were so worn out, it was time for a new pair. He picked out some red and black Sketchers. I looked at the Rocket Dogs. I bought a pair of Rocket Dogs last summer and I love them. I saw this great blue plaid pair. And, of course, they had my size. My husband thinks these are the ugliest shoes in the world. He even called them clown shoes. I bought them anyway. They're my feet. Besides, they look so cute with a pair of jeans.

I created this LO for one of my Spraguemates. Lisa (Latz) was accepted in the Little Dreamer Apprentice Program. I created a LO using her kit, Spring Forest. This LO is made about the Flowering Pear Tree in my front yard. It's a beautiful tree but when it blooms it smells awful!

Good Luck Lisa with the Apprentice Program.

You can see her kit here.

Easter Flowers

Here is a LO of the red tulips I received from my sister-in-law last Easter. I have no idea what I did with the bulbs. This year I received beautiful yellow tulips. I'll be planting them around my tree tomorrow.
