Plum Creek 2019

 

Almost done with scrapbooking all the parks we visited in September 2019. It seemed like we had this park to ourselves, as we didn't encounter any people on our walk in the trails. It could have been because it was a really hot day outside. Luckily, with all the tree... our walk was perfect!

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Hershey Gardens

My Husband went to the Hershey Gardens in May 2014.  Here is my double-page spread of his trip. I believe I was in Cleveland at this time while he was in Harrisburg PA.  I remember that it was after this working trip that he was let go of his job at Avaya.  Wow! What a year of change 2014 was for us.  So very thankful to the Lord that he was hired by Interactive Northwest Inc. in January 2015.

Mike took so many beautiful photos of the gardens... it's always hard to choose just a few to showcase on a scrapbook page.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Elegance

I'm back.... did you miss me?  Sorry I haven't posted in a while.  The holiday season is always busy, but this 2013 was really busy for us.  Ours was a happy and sad holiday.... we flew to Christmas to celebrate it with my side of the family, and to celebrate the wedding of my little brother.  The sad part.... was that my Grandma (my Dad's Mom) passed away during that time.  It was good that the whole family was there, so that we could all be together.
