Great Book

Just finished "Comfort Me With Apples". I thought it was a very fun read with fabulous recipes included. It was written by the editor of Gourmet magazine. My mom got me hooked on Gourmet about 10 or so years ago. It was a AWA book club book and I can't wait to see what others think next week at the meeting.

Ryan is 18!

My baby boy turned 18 yesterday!

I can't believe that I got this far behind! Here are #'s 13, 14 &15 for emily falconbridge's challenge art journal! #16 is still being worked on by others.

13--What is on your mind? Knitting is on my mind as therapy for the other things that are actually on my mind!

14--birds I love my pictish birds!

15--parents Thank God for my wonderful wonderful parents!

In the last 4 weeks I have been back to Texas to see Chels, taken my first walk around Dunnottar(thanks Bonnie, Matt, and Cameron), toured Marischal Museum with Elizabeth, and about a million other things to get ready for Ryan's graduation, the end of the school year, and *THE MOVE*!

Happy Happy Easter!

Hi! Having a fun time with Chelsi and Liberty in Houston. Ryan and I came over from the UK and Mike came down from Alaska! Yea! Too bad Kelli isn't here, but she is soaking up the sun in Malaga! Had dinner with the Cooke's at wonderful El Jaritos last night and had a fun Easter lunch with the Roger's family today. Found this great picture on Chel's computer...all of the kids together on our trip to Malta, 2004!

#12 and away we go!

Here is #12 from emily falconbridge's art journal challenge! Whew!!!!! 12 weeks of continuous creativity! Amazing!

Leaving for Glasgow today---our boy's senior team is in the Scottish Cup Finals!

GO BISON!

#11

Guess what this week's prompt was? Give up? Your initial!

I love the letter "C", always have! I used to be a double "C", and then I became a "C U"! Still great initials. 2 weeks ago I took a group to tour His Majesty's Theatre in Aberdeen---See I like my letter"C".

Anyways, because I am Cheri with a "C", I get to say my initial constantly due to frequent misspelling. Very often you will hear me say," It's Cheri with a C, like Cherry, However, it is said like the drink!" On my card, I used Emily's tape technique (I did it in her class in Paris). The rest is foam cut with quickutz! I like it's cheerfulness!

BBall Tournie in London

Spent Wednesday thru Saturday in lovely Kingston upon Thames. My 2 younger kids were both in the annual basketball tournament. So very proud of them and their team-mates. They all behaved wonderfully on and off the court! Both the girls and boys teams came home with the Sportsmanship Awards. Our boys came home as Champions and the girls came home with a well earned 5th! Ryan was one of 3 all tournament players and Kelli was our only all tournament player. What an honor for the two of them. Great weather, wonderful food, and fun times were had by all!

*e* #10 & I am back on schedule!

I love these colors!
