HELLO!!!!!!
I'm back from our vacation to the northern shores of Lake Superior!!! We had a wonderful time, as the photos I'm sharing will attest. The weather was outstanding, which for this neck of the woods is rare. Everyday, 70's and sunny! I will share more a little later this week.
I still haven't had time to stamp since I got back late yesterday. We had some upsetting news on our last night at camp (Wednesday). Doug's dad called to tell us that his mom was in the hospital with congestive heart failure. This is a shock, as Muriel is as healthy as a horse. She is 73 years young. We left earlier than planned yesterday to get home in time for the angiogram surgery they were performing yesterday afternoon. As it turns out, they discovered one artery 90% blocked and another is 80% blocked. Unfortunately, Muriel will need double bypass surgery, which has now been scheduled for Monday. She is in great hands at a wonderful hospital here in the cities. Hopefully all of us will be able to see her this weekend as she regains some strength before surgery Monday.
In the meantime, this is a card I made before I left! I know today is supposed to be Flashback Friday, but no time to get that ready. Our new roof is being installed today, so maybe after that is done, I'll sneak downstairs to stamp.
Hugs to all. I missed you! Can't wait to get back to creating! Here's a few snapshots of our trip...This is hubby and me after chapel one night....
This is me and my boys in Grand Marais, MN, taking a little break from skipping stones on Lake Superior....
This is my family while on the shore of Lake Superior, where we had our chapel service one evening.....so beautiful....
This is the Work Staff. They were leading us in a round of camp songs. That's Lake Superior behind them!Amy
