Another one bites the dust.


Over the summer I enjoyed one of the more inspiring completions.  I completed #63 when Jeff, Joshua, Mom, Ron and I visited  Yosemite National Park in July.  There are no words to describe the natural beauty in this gorgeous National Park. 



El Capitan

We only spent one day in Yosemite and I can assure you that this was not enough time to explore all that I wanted to.  Most of my pictures are from the roadside since we mostly drove from vantage point to vantage point checking out the views.

A fabulous lunch at The Ahwahnee Hotel


I think next time I'd like to maybe take a guided tour and maybe do some (easy) hiking.  I'm not the camping type but I could definitely go for a few days in this most serene location.

What does "up to date" mean really?

I am seriously starting to re evaluate #23 - Bring Scrapbook up to date. Since I made this list I have started 3 more scrapbooks. I am currently working on 4 books.
1) Joshua's book
2) Family Travel Book
3) School Years book for Joshua
4) A book all about me

I've come to the realization that these will never be up to date as they are all a work in progress so I've decided to seek progress, not perfection. As long as I am working toward filling the books I will consider #23 a success. I don't want to make myself stress over a hobby. Hobbies are fun, right?

About a year ago I joined ScrapHappy with the amazing Lain Ehmann. And recently I have become more active in the community. This is sending my motivation and inspiration off the chart. I see good things in the future.
