Hey Cherries. Today my sister and I will be meeting with a real estate agent at my mom’s house to see what we have to do before putting it up for sale. It’s so sad, since we moved into that house in 1965 and we watched it being built. We used to come out from Queens on the weekends and “visit” it during it’s construction. I remember my sister and I walking through it when it was framed out and pointing out which room was going to be ours. We are the only family this house has ever known. And now the time has come to have to sell it. I’m going to get there a little earlier and do some more packing up for donation. No time to get in my scrap room today. 

Hope you all have a great day. 

That is always hard, sending good thoughts and hugs your way.

Hugs, Barb!! 🫂 I'm sure you've taken some photos; I know it's a bittersweet process and I am thinking of you, praying for you as you go through this today. Hugs!   

Thank you Holly. We have years and years of photos from all the family gatherings. We have photos all the way back to the 60s.
  

I think that's AWESOME, Barb!!! I love family photos, even the ones from ages ago where I have to ask who so n so is!  
Truly, those photos are treasures!

I am slowly getting back to scrapping.  Been going to weekend crops, meeting new people and
totally enjoying it!  For some reason, scrapping at home is not working, I just stare at the TV, which
is all reruns.  I love that the weather is finally getting nicer  here!

My scrap bags are still packed from last weekend.  I did get my dirty laundry to the basement, lol.
Next weekend I have a day crop with a friend in town.  The weekend after that is a 4 day weekend
in OA, just 45 minutes from home.  Then its April, a 4 day crop in OC, MD.  They have the most amazing
Italian food right within the hotel ans an amazing deli!!  That is my ABSOLUTE FAV place ever.  Then I have
No crops till August, hopefully I can lose weight from April!!!  LOL!!!

Hubby is working tomorrow, so hoping to upload my work at least and get that added here.

Have a great weekend all! 

Ann, going to the crops sounds like so MUCH fun!! I bet you have a blast with the next two! And so cool that you met some new nice people! That's always a plus!
I can't wait to check out your projects!

Hey Cherries  
Coffee time lol I'm working at 2 today and hoping to get some extra time on the clock. (I'm only scheduled 5 hours.) (Everyone else has had their hours cut too.) 
I've let a few people know that I'm looking for extra work. Truly I have done just about everything from clerical work to caring for Elderly people, kids, animals; I've done a LOT in my time!  
I'm JUST feeling better lately!
I KNOW there's been a LOT of prayers on my behalf, and I feel them working! So absolutely thank you Cherries!  
After work I'm hoping to relax and work on my collage some more! I'm having so MUCH fun with it! No idea what I'll do with it when it's finish, maybe use it as an album cover? 
I love you Cherries and hope you ALL have blessed days!

Keeping you in my prayers Holly.  Hope you get extra hours at work. 

Vicki, prayers are DEFINITELY being answered!! Another friend asked me to work for her tonight!

Alan and I bought this house brand new construction in 1977!  Alan died in the living room here in 2019.  I’ll live here until I die most likely. My kids were 4,8,and 10 when we moved in.   The house is part of our family after 48 years.  My younger son says he will Never sell it after I’m gone. But who knows.  Life goes on per God’s plans, not ours.  

Thank you for sharing your story. Many ((hugs)).

It is 77 degrees here this afternoon!  But very windy.  Not comfortable to sit out on the deck, plus my allergies hate the wind. lol So, sitting inside, sipping a glass of wine and scrapping!

For Penn's Bar Mitzvah challenge #3:

Gorgeous layout Laura! Love all the teal!
