Ahm tard! After two full days and an additional evening of scrapbooking--plus grandchildren--this old lady is pooped! To the uninitiated, scrapbooking sounds easy. Just paste some souvenirs in a book, right? It's much more complicated (and expensive) than that! Each page is a work of art...and, as popular as scrapbooking is these days...the scrapbook material companies are making a fortune! The book I've been working on for the better part of two years is a heritage project, based on the Civil War diary of my great-great grandfather. My daughter started me off on this, wondering who all of the people were that were staring up at her from the box that held all of the precious pictures, now over a century old! I have the first book almost done. There will be a celebration, of sorts, when it is finished!
I had Meg, Nate, and the two grandchildren here overnight last night. Robin (age 3) is my bedmate when we have a "sleepover". The children like Gwamma's "bumpy bed". (I have a waterbed.) The problem, of course, is that Robin won't go to sleep until I retire for the evening, too, which makes for a very late bedtime for her.
In the meantime, tomorrow is a day off for me. I intend to use it to recharge my batteries for the week. I thank all of the Great Americans for giving me a holiday!
