Today has been a day of rest.
I think we are both very very tired.
It's been quite a couple of weeks but we count ourselves very blessed and lucky.
I did manage some real life scrapping though. It has been a while ... my scrapping recently has been digital.
This is the last page in my Disney album - well THIS Disney album. It means I have now done 40 pages of our summer holiday - and I think that is quite impressive as I have scrapped so many Disney pages over the year thinking of 40 new ideas is quite tough!
Today I am thankful for
my cats eating properly today - I think their tummies came out in sympathy
a quiet happy day
and I am especially thankful for my beautiful god-daughter Samantha who celebrates a significant birthday today.
She has brought so much joy to our lives.
The greatest gift in the world was when Pauline, my surrogate Mom, asked me to be godmother to Sam.
Our families are closely linked in so many ways and the ties are strong.
This is a very young Pauline when I was 5 ... she used to look after me as I went on to look after Samantha ... I adored her as a child and still adore her now.
This was Samatha's Christeneing day.
I used to spend all my holidays with Pauline and loved helping look after Samantha
When she was older - from the age of about 15 - she used to come down and stay with us in the holidays
and we loved it when she lived with us for a while.
She married a wonderful man
and they still come and visit us
she had two beautiful daughters of her own
and I love my special god-daughter family
So happy birthday to the most special god-daughter I could ever have wished for
I could only say, "Awwww," as I looked at the photos from the past. Just sweet, sweet, sweet!
Congrats on getting your last page completed from this year's trip! AND for getting some well-needed rest. Take care :-)
