Catching Up

I feel like I haven’t been able to get online much lately.  Besides being busy, I am having some issues with my laptop.  It sounds like my hard driving is failing so I need to figure out what I’m going to do pretty quick.  Meanwhile, I have been trying to back up all my files.  Knock on wood for me.  I hope I can get a new laptop before this one goes kaput.

 

I also need to announce the winner of the Just Rite Curlz Monogram stamp set.   

 

 


And the lucky winner is …….     #17 - Tracy MacDonald

My daughter and I had a wonderful trip to visit my aunt and uncle in Virginia last weekend.  We spent a lot of time relaxing on Smith Mountain Lake, visited Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, the Roanoke farmers market, and downtown Charlottesville.

This is a picture of my daughter with her big catch.  She caught an 18” catfish off the dock.   After the photo op, she released him back into the lake.  Look at that big smile!

 

Before I go I have a new song to share with you.   I heard this song on Songza.com and it has been going through my head the last couple of days.  It’s a catchy little tune. 

 

 

 

Have a  great day!

That's some catch! Your daughter has every right to put on that big smile. Great to hear you had a wonderful time. I still need to move all my files from my old laptop to my new one and finally start working on the new one ... Good luck!
