This used to say, "Musings of a wannabe retiree/full time scrapbooker/ sewer/quilter/world traveller". However, I was forced to retire earlier than expected when I became too ill to work in May, 2016. So now I guess I'm going to remain a wannabe world traveller. Some day when we win the lottery I guess.

Hobby Page Scrapbook Challenge
Here is this week's challenge - to embellish a page with something related to a past or neglected hobby of yours (before you started scrapbooking!!). I really liked the poem so thought I'd put a photo of the quilt I started a very LONG time ago -- it would fit a single bed right now -- but it is supposed to fit a king size bed. I have several smaller landscapes already done; just have to put a border around each one and figure out how to lay them out around the centre landscape.

Alex's Pages
I'm now trying to do my pages on Alex and Connor. Was going to finish the Mason boys pages first, however, I didn't want to disappoint Laura. When she saw my pages of Sam and Michael she asked if I didn't have any pictures of her sweet boys? Trust me, guys, I have pictures of everyone! My pictures didn't even hit the old-style photo albums, I had them in envelopes in drawers and in boxes. I spent weeks gathering and sorting them - probably because I've resorted into different categories whenever I get an idea for pages.
Carrie & Al arrived Friday around noon and visit with Mom the afternoon. When I was getting home from work I was right behind their car arriving at my place. Had a wonderful, although short, visit with them until they had to leave Saturday around 3 p.m. to get back on the road. They have to be back to work for Monday. They had beautiful pictures of their trip that I really enjoyed seeing. There were sooooo many photos that I didn't have time to see them all. I think that Carrie has a wonderful eye for taking photos and should submit some of her photos to magazines, such as Our Country!
