The last week of school ate up all my time. I fell behind in my on-line courses and on the Her Space: My Space challenges. Here a few to catch up:
6-24
6-23
My Write-On Journal for Amy Sorenson’s journaling course on BPS.
6-21
6-20 Press: my great-grandmother’s iron. I use it as a weight for books/layouts while the adhesive dries.
6-15
I’m taking Jessica Sprague’s online digital scrapbooking course “Up and Running.” I have her book Computer Tricks for Scrapbooking and I read her blog regularly so I was pretty sure I’d learn a lot in the course. I’ve completed my first digital layout (ever) and she made it really easy. Every day we get an email with more tips, kits to download, and midweek assignments. One more day with kids at school, three more days altogether, and then I can concentrate on the fun stuff. Here’s the first layout:

Our boat just went in the water and into a much improved slip on the Genesee River which takes us out to Lake Ontario.

Hands in my fifth grade classroom:

21 report cards X 6 pages each=tired. Just 7 more days with kids. Ready for vacation.

Not a fan of self-portraits and I’ve never tried with my Rebel XT except in a mirror, but here I am in my space today:

The word of the day is nugget. Don’t know why it took me more than half the day to realize I had a the perfect response:
Yum!
The photo of the day at Her Space: My Space is “plug.” The photo is actually from the last trip we took. Here are both our iBooks plugged in the lamp at the Hampton Inn. I used to give Tracy so much grief about taking his computer everywhere we went, but now I am no better. Can’t imagine going for too many days without access to my computer. Don’t always need wireless, but there’s always something I want to do on my computer. Now that I have a new MacBook, it’s even more addicting.
Sarah drove 14 hours (round trip) for a 20 minute meeting with her Committe on the Preparation for Ministry. Since she and Adam have but one car now, she was here less than 24 hours. Nonetheless, we had a great meal at The Park Ave. Pub with her grandparents and some time for conversation. I took Thursday off and Sarah and I visited the Ansel Adam’s exhibition at The George Eastman House. It’s a wonderful exhibit with many photographs of the Rochester area which I don’t ever remember seeing plus many of Adam’s classics. Afterwards we wandered around the beautiful gardens and Sarah let me take a lot of photographs of her–generally she’s not so cooperative, but I certainly appreciated it. Here are a few of them:
Afterwards we did a little jewelry shopping and had a lovely lunch. Such a nice way to spend a day!

No furry creatures in our house, and no stuffed animals left either, but I found this furry plant in the gardens at the George Eastman House today.
Several weeks ago the photo for the day on Her Space: My Space was toe. I didn’t participate, but decided this photo was worth posting. Yesterday I tripped on the last step, fell onto the concrete basement floor, and took most of the impact on my big toe. The top of my foot is scraped, my knee took a bit of damage, but it’s the toe that got the brunt of it. Not a very pretty sight.
