SUN!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!
Broke the all time record for the most rain in one year. In fact, we've had more rain than Seattle this year - not surprised!
With the next presentation steadily approaching - I'm hoping I'm ready. Have a few loose ends and hope that they will be taken care of soon.
My dad turns 80 this year and - at this age - it's a challenge to find the right gift - especially a group gift - as I am one of seven kids. But - I managed to do that and I know he'll love it. A few years ago he had asked each of us to email him our childhood memories and once he collects them, he was going to make a scrapbook from them. He said he regretted that he never recorded any of his mom's stories of her childhood or the stories of him growing up; as she was quite the storyteller. So that's what we did - emailed all kinds of memories to him. I had a feeling, however, that he didn't do anything with them, and I was right - my mom told me that he didn't. Yes! So that's what I did. Between email search and ones my mom had - I think I got 'em all - and then I put them in a nice photo album with each sibling having their own "chapter" with photos surrounding their stories. Some of the photos coordinated with the photo - which was fun to do. I don't know what I would have done without email and Facebook. Since our family is so big - it was impossible to have as many photos of the younger nieces and nephews - so it worked out great! Can't wait for him to see it.
Now my next project - I really have to concentrate on - because the presentation is this week! yikes!!
