Wow, I haven't typed any thoughts since 2-11. Well, this is a great time---Happy Birthday to my Grandmother in Columbia, SC. Tomorrow she turns 104!!! Yeah, that's right, 104. She is an incredible lady. She lived by herself until about 1 1/2 years ago. She is still mobile, although she walks with a walker, by hey, that's OK. She still has a good grasp of who is around her and who is missing with regards to family. Happy Birthday Grandmother!! I love you. Her motto is Change happens and if you don't change you'll be left behind. Something to think about!

Making new Journals and FAFSA applying

I've been busy making new journals, smaller ones, because the one black journal on my site has over 100 views. So I'm banking on these selling better. Check them out. Also, I've helped my son fill out the FAFSA application. Those with college age students know it's the federal application for scholarships. Wow that take's a lot of time and energy. Then I was disappointed to learn that we have to do this for the next 4 years!! Well, as your child grows, you go through different stages. I'm happy and sad at the same time.
