a MONTH???

Wow! It has already been a month since I last wrote anything on here. I went on my scrap retreat and got 17 pages done! I know that isn't much compared to the 40+ that a couple others got done but I had to go to bed early on Friday so that my hubby could pick me up by 8:30 the next morning so I could go with him to his uncle's funeral. What do ya do?

I was doing pics of Kerstin when she was little, 1-4 years old. I don't scrap in order, makes for interesting times trying to get my books in order. My favorite page is one of when she was about 18 mo old. I had been giving her little slices of raw potato. She decided she needed a whole one, it is so cute! Her daddy is holding her as she sits on the kitchen counter trying to gnaw on this big ole potato! I will try to take a pic of it and post it later!

Anyway, we are still in the midst of flooding around this 1/2 of ND. Jamestown is supposed to let more water out of the dam there, not good for those downstream of the James River since there was another dam that broke already. It has just been CRAZY this year. We had to drive down to my friend Ellie who lives in McLeod and you could actually see the water running in the ditches! Looked more like rivers than ditches. There is water EVERYWHERE!

This pic is of a field the way down.

This of the water in Kindred as you go over the river.













The other crazy thing was all the geese & swans! They were just thick! The sky was black & white instead of blue! The left one is on the way down to McLeod, the right one on the way back, the group was coming in to land in the field. Looks like a scene out of that old "Birds" movie!
Anyway, I guess I better get back to editing my photos! See you all soon!
