Busy summer

Tweet

I have had a very fun filled summer, but also a stressful one with much work to be done around the farm. We had a much better blueberry crop this year and it was great to see my previous pruning has help this improve. Much more pruning to do on the back 2 rows. DH still has to cut the trees down that are stealing the sunshine from them. Tough job and certainly one I can not do. The trees are
on an incline and getting them to fall the right way will be a challenge. 

I finally got our network and internet issues fixed today.  I installed the new Airport and it seems to be working out well so far.  I have been trying unsuccessfully for most of the spring and summer to get us up to speed. Having to unplug the router and dsl every hour does not leave much time to get my reviews posted and other thing taken care of on the computer.  I have read many of my review books though, so playing catch up with my reviews, which have been written in my old paper notebook. Technology is great when it works, but paper and pencil work when all else fails. lol

I was thrilled to see my Davis and Farmer families, but three back to back trips were not much fun. Visiting John's family(Davis') is always emotional for me and the girls. Santana and Sara were able to go with us this year. Hope to have Savannah with us on our 2014 trip to the reunion. I cried when I saw my brother at the Farmer reunion. I miss him so much. We have not been able to see each other for 3 years. Time sure flies when you get my age.  Hope to spend some quality time with my brother this fall. Which mean I better get my reviews all posted. I have learned that I can use my wireless keyboard with my iPod, so hopefully will be able to type them easier if I am away from home. Hard to tote a big desktop on a plane. ( I knew there was a reason I should have gotten a laptop.) 

Enough chatting and on to posting reviews. See ya. 8-o

My first about me post

Well...I did it again. I was going to go to bed on time last night last night but my scrapping mojo was
in high gear and I finished 6 layout last night. I have 2 more almost done and 2 more planned out already. I have always been my most creative at night, wish it was not so, but that's how it works out.

I am sitting at my computer looking at a photo of my beautiful oldest grand daughter that I plan to scrap next. She is an amazing young women. She is our middle daughters oldest and is a Sophomore this years. She has two younger sisters who are in middle school, one in 6th and the other in 8th.
I blinked my eyes and they were all grown up. They now live in Michigan. We get to see them at
Christmas and on their birthdays. Sure do miss them.

We have an adopted in son, who lives in Kentucky. He and his wife are the parents of our other
middle school grand daughter. She love soccer and is very good at it. She also ice skates.

Our oldest daughter and son-in-law live in Michigan also. They have another grand daughter who
goes to the elementary school where her mom also works. She is so sweet. She love to dance and
is super cute.

Our youngest daughter lives far, far away in California. She has two adorable little girls. The last
time I saw her she was pregnant with the youngest one. My husband and 6th grade grand daughter
flew out to see them a couple of summers ago. Hopefully soon we will be able to visit.

If you follow my blog you will see that my grand daughter are the subject of most of my layouts.

I'll close my opening post on my About Me page by welcoming you to my little home on the web.
Be sure to check out my book reviews, layouts and hopefully soon my sewing projects. May God bless you all with health and happiness.  Bye for now. :)

This is Amazing Gracie and I.

 

This is my goofy, amazing husband 

The story behind my digi-scrap gallery/forum user name. I have been GodBlessAmerica for so long(10 years) in the forums and galleries that it seems like a my nickname now. Many of my online friends know me by GBA_Jan or GodBlessAmerica only.  I am slowing letting them know I am Jan.  :)

I am pretty sure if you click on the layout it will open up bigger in another window so you can read the journaling. The original layout is here in my STO gallery, if you want to leave me some love. :)

 

Enough talk for today.
