Reflections

It has been a weekend for reflecting back for me. Yesterday my baby turned 22. How did this happen, where has all the time gone? I was just 22 a few days ago. She will be graduating in another month and then who knows.

I also have started, again, on Grandma's old project of the Grandma Remembers books. For the 11 of you who do not have yours they are getting closer to completion. 5 are all written and just need pictures and the other 6 are in various stages of writing. I am hoping to finish the writing this week and then start on the pictures. It just takes good days on Grandma's part for where there are questions that she needs to answer. Yesterday we got a lot of blanks filled in, today we did not do so well.

I had to laugh last night. I am using the siblings book that is written for a template where possible for some pages. I was feeling really good about my system and was merrily writing along a nice story from another book about how the parents of the one getting the book had met on the Staten Island ferry and was just a few words from the end when I realized, crap, this is Mary's book, this will not work. Thank goodness for the invention of White-out. Sorry Mary.
