idle hands, anxious hearts

Do you think I have a little too much time on my hands? :)

Would you like to have some fun with your photos? Amaze (or annoy) your friends and family? Pyzhan of Prattle From the Flatlands told about Blingee on her blog. She is exceptionally good at this pasttime of adding sparkle and designs to photos. If you'd like to give it a go you'll find it's a sure way to:

1.) get creative.

2.) avoid chores.

3.) ditto work.

4.) waste time.

5.) giggle out loud.

6.) all of the above.

If your so inclined to this sort of thing you might want to visit Blingee.com, and really, no animals were harmed for this post! These lions had a good time, I think.

I'll be gone for 6 days, leaving this morning, on a road trip to Oregon. My last bird is leaving the nest, starting her new life as a college freshman. And I will be driving away (from college) as a new Mama of faraway children. 992 miles away. Oh dear.

Oh dear.

It'll be alright. I'm sure.

I hope you all have a lovely week! I'll have my laptop with me and may even get a chance to post from the road, but I'll surely read your helpful

comforting comments,

Thank you so much in advance.

♥ lots of love, Lori

Here she is yesterday, see her running down the path to the beach? I hope she adjusts ok, this will be her first time to live away from the ocean (and me). Oh, I know, it'll be waiting for her when she gets back.

and so will I. ♥
