Jerry Lewis Goat

Okay girls, I'm watching an episode of Bonnie Hunt while prepping for a class and she showed this clip of a goat that sounds like Jerry Lewis. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwy1qGdQ424 What a crack up! The goat is hysterical but equally as funny is the poor girl trying to feed the goat. This is typical of anyone trying to record anything funny happening to me. The star of the video is often upstaged by my laughter. You either hate it or can't help laughing with me. Anyway I hope get a giggle out of this as I did.
She also had a clip from the news of a couple of elderly ladies that tied themselves to a crab apple tree to save it from being cut down. It was pretty funny but I couldn't find that clip. They planted themselves in front of the tree on a couple of plastic chairs and draped a small rope across themselves tying the end of the rope to the arm of the chair in a loose single knot. Too funny. She actually chatted with one of the ladies on the phone. They had saved the tree until October when they would revisit the issue. If they had to do it again, she told Bonnie, "There's always bigger ropes."
I just love Bonnie and this show. Never fails to give me a smile!

The other day I was watching an episode of the Bonnie Hunt show---I've mentioned before that I just love her. Well, she had Paula Deen on the show and they were talking about her story and about a book she had written about her life. Something about her story touched me so I ordered her book on half.com. The story grabbed me immediately from the foreword. I related so much to a lot of her story. I haven't finished the book yet, but it has already given me a huge respect for the woman behind the great southern cook. I wish I had her drive. I could do anything! Anyway, her story gives me hope that a life begun late can still be a life well worth the living and makes me believe that unexpected wonderful things could pop up for me just around any corner.

Thanks

Thanks Girls!
My 4th of July Album kits sold out an I had to make more! I'm so glad that you liked it! Now that I've made more I have two left---that's it. Just two and they're gone. Just a hint--the next kit that will be available is a cute little mini album in the shape of a sunshine. How appropriate. Is it hot or what? I have been asked whether I will be making any kits available for layouts and the answer is---Yes. Keep om watching. There is much more to come. I'm trying to keep these stubby little fingers working.

Anyway, I hope you are all finding a way to keep cool and finding time to do some scrappin'. Let me know if you want to grab one of these final two 4th of July mini album kits.

Do any of you watch the Bonnie Hunt Show? Isn't it fun? Don't you love her mother? I came across it by accident on morning and it gave me such a lift that I started taping it each day. I put it on and kind of listen/watch while I'm scrapping or working around the house. It never fails to give me a laugh or smile. Thought I'd share with all of you how much I enjoy the show and suggest that you tune in and check it out sometime if you need a little boost.

Taken

I treated myself to a movie tonight. I went to the Grand Sierra Cinema to see Liam Neison in "Taken." I know it comes out on video on Tuesday, but it's cheaper at that theater ($3) than it would cost to rent it and I get to go out. Plus, they have the most comfortable seats like couches to relax on. The movie was really good. Very action packed and dramatic and I really enjoyed it.

Camp TMT 2009

Here I am lounging at Camp TMT. I was able to go to camp for the first time this year. I was so excited! It is such a beautiful facility! It was such a blessing to be able to spend a weekend away with my fabulous scrapbooking friends. One of the great things about this hobby/obsession of ours is that we meet such great ladies. There was plenty of room to spread out and I was able to get quite a bit done. Maybe I will share a couple of the layouts with you in a couple of days. Right now I'm preparing for another weekend of scrapbooking fun at Scrapaganza this weekend. I hope to see many of you there. If you're not there, I hope you are doing something else fun to celebrate National Scrapbook Day. Enjoy!

I hosted my first in home class last night and I so enjoyed it! Four of you joined me here for a sketches class and we had such a lovely time. I hope some more of you will consider coming sometime. I would love to welcome you to my little home for some fun scrapbooking time. Thanks to those of you who were here. I loved having you!
