Melancholy - yes I am feeling melancholy, down in the dumps, glum and wistful!
I have so many things on the go, would love to start something new, my Daughter, SIL and the kiddies have gone home, I am extremely busy at work, trying to dry some apples to make some healthy snacks and it's not working, they won't dry!!!!!
What can I make? are there any challenges out there? would anyone like to challenge me to make
something with them?
This family picture was taken last Friday evening August 31st 2012
You would think I would be glad of the peace now things are back to normal but I AM NOT, I miss them all so much!
Ah well tomorrows another day, BBQ with mum and dad tomorrow night, so thankful that my dad is on the mend, we are camping with them again soon in Kananaskis for a weekend, Kananaskis is a beautiful area in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, about an hour from where we live, we haven't been out there for a while so we are looking forward to a few days there. The weather here is lovely at the moment but it can quickly turn to snow in the mountains!
Have a lovely weekend everyone!
I know how you feel. I don't like it when the family leave... But you do hae some gorgeous photos and lots of wonderful memories too.
