Only a small selection of photos I took while in northwest Arkansas for Lela's birthday party.
I think Lela and I became soul mates while I was there. Or as was written of King David and Jonathan, our "souls were knit together."
Happy birthday little girl!

Catching Up
Today has been a Pajama Day. Sort of. I'm spending the week with Rachel, Rick and Lela, and today we stayed home and played and looked at pictures and talked and read. And walked....if she has a grasp on one adult finger, Lela speeds around the room as if she has been waiting too long for legs to grow strong enough to take her where she wants to go. And she wants to go EVERYWHERE!
At last I think I can upload some things, so maybe I will catch up on the blog.

More Blog Trouble
Sorry I can't post any photos right now, and don't have time to try to find the answer. Nothing is uploading, and I can't even get the photo uploader to open. Once it let me get as far as saying the pictures were uploaded, and then I discovered they weren't on the blog. I searched the problem a little yesterday, and found no answers from Blogger, and only one answer from many posts by other bloggers having the same problem. Sorry Followers, I'll update ASAP, and if I can't, I may try creating my own website in the future.

Still Creating
It has been such a long time since I posted anything. I'm still a bit overwhelmed, but starting to see some things reach the Finish Line. Today I am happy to post pictures of the dress I have been making for Lela's first birthday. It has lambs and flowers smocked on the front and back, and is made to be worn as a pinafore now and a sundress next summer. Hopefully I'll get some good photos of Lela wearing it...and fitting it! It looks so big, I can't believe she's nearing her first birthday! I am looking forward to being in northwest Arkansas for her party in two weeks.
Almost everything is unpacked and in place in the house, so now I get to start putting things on the walls. Soon I will upload a video tour.
I have been doing a little writing on the book I started many years ago. I hope that some day it will be a source of encouragement for others. So far I have revised the outline and written a short chapter. An interesting obstacle I have to get past: about 150 pages are saved in text format on a floppy in Windows 3.0 (I think)! I don't even have a floppy drive any more, so I may need to have a Geek extract the information for me. Fortunately, I also printed it, so I have a hard copy in case the disk can't be accessed.
Another writing project... the story of Onyx and his skunk escapade...is being illustrated by Jesse. There is so much work involved, but he's making it look so cute.
School has been somewhat ignored lately, though I have done a small amount on two classes. If I were taking traditional classes, I would have dropped out long ago. DePaul has been a great online opportunity for me, and I still plan to finish my BA, though it's been on hold while I moved ( twice this year). My newest school project will be creating a website for our home business, in addition to finishing 3 essays for a creative writing proficiency exam and 2 science exams. It's good that the work I do can be applied to more than one subject. Hm, sounds like life to me!
We've had some beautiful sunrises and sunsets recently, and I also got photos of some storks on the canal behind our house. It was fun, because I had to creep up on them.
PROBLEM: None of the photos or videos I've taken will upload. They appear to be in the proper formats and sizes, but I've been trying to upload a video of Lela all morning - which I first tried to upload in OCTOBER and it will not go.
