142nd post...

I could have sworn I'd posted more than that.  Hmph.

Looking back though, I can see I sometimes went a couple MONTHS between posts, and until lately, if I posted once a week I was downright chatty.  The trend for posting more often has been a good one, and I've enjoyed it, so it will continue.  I think I'll celebrate by having a giveaway.  I've been offered a chance to earn a free copy of a My Memories Digital Scrapbooking Software if I give away a copy.  First I have to try it, write a review, and figure out how it will work for my blog/online store applications.  But I'm confident it will be fun to try. 

If you've used scrapbooking software, what do you think of it?  Since I don't scrapbook (in the traditional OR virtual sense) I wasn't even aware there was such a thing. 

In other, MUCH more celebration-worthy news: only six months til my daughter and her family (hub and twin boys) move here from Japan.  She'll definitely be here the four months of her cross-training into another AF career field.  But there's a good chance she might actually be stationed here!  I try not to think about it too much, just enjoy thoughts of those four months, and not get my hopes too high.  I have nine grandchildren, with a tenth due in November...and I never see any of them.  I can't wait to teach them gardening...and painting...and sculpting...and...ahem.  Where was I? 

Well, anyway, here's Vincent and Connor.  They just turned five in June. 

It's TWINS!!!   :~)

Renee and Jeremy, proud parents.

Two weeks new.

Their first Halloween.

Hard day at school.

Best buds.
