It's Official...

Summer is over….. Meagan has gone back to work in England, Craig has gone back to university in Lethbridge, the weather is miserable and my flowers have seen better days…. But on a bright note, Highland dance class started up again (ya da da da Miss Lorna)... missed my dancing girls!, Friday night scrappin’ with the “BWB” gals is back in full-force with the great friends that I get to hang out with and Shabby Chic classes at the Scrap Yard have begun - full of laughter.  Pop by the Scrap Yard and check out the Basic Grey Page-of-the Month class on September 29th , I’m teaching it this month.

I missed my weekly “inspiration” Shabby Chic classes with Lynn Thune, the creative genius behind this layout that we created on Thursday……

Isn’t this what summer is all about? Meagan, Jake and Craig on a hike in Kananaskis country when they came upon a sign that said “bears in the area”, they decided that they should pose as bears!

So after a few days of depression about having a very quiet house I’m back into the regular routine and it feels good….. ‘til next time…. Enjoy!

 

Somebody's Always Saying Goodbye

“Railroad station, midnight trains
lonely airports in the rain
and somebody stands there with tears in their eyes
It's the same old scene, time after time
that's the trouble with all mankind, somebody's always saying goodbye
Taxi cabs leave in the night
Greyhound buses with red tail lights
someone's leaving and someone's left behind
Well I don’t know how things got that way
but every place you look these days
somebody's always saying goodbye”

The airport can be a sad and happy place all at the same time. Last week it was the happiest place on earth for me as Meagan and Jake arrived home for a summer visit. Today it is the saddest place as they left to go back “home” to England.
