Good evening everyone!Do you love summer storms (as long as they're not too scary - eg) tornadoes)? I do! Tonight we had one that was quite impressive! Huge black clouds with thunder and lightning and some hail. The hail first started as small marble size and hard but quickly turned to smaller softer hail - thank goodness!If you are in the storm's path, stay safe!Enjoy these pics!Nancy K.

Hi everyone,It's been about 5 1/2 months since my Mom passed away and 13 1/2 months since my Uncle Mark passed away. Some days are still really difficult. Tonight I found this quote that I want to share with you:Perhaps they are not stars in the sky but rather openings where our loved ones look down to let us know they are happy.I love that. I think I will use it on a scrapbook page soon.What poems, quotes, etc. inspire you or just "fit"?I'd love to hear from you!Nancy K.

Enjoy!Nancy K.

Hi everyone!Today was a special day. I got up and watched the Royal Wedding! Did you? I am curious to know how many of you did. Pop me a comment to let me know - I'd love to hear from you!Since I was a little girl I have been interested in the royal family. You can ask my sisters - I collected articles and magazines when Prince Charles and Princess Diana got married - I still have them too. And to keep up with my tradition I will go out tomorrow seeking the UK newspapers, magazines, etc - if you have any tips on where I can find them I would really appreciate it! I
