time we had at the JJ Ranch....our two days was packed with family time, water-filled activity, horses, and a little return to yesteryear. More details later, for we are all tired and ready for a little down time right now. It's funny how we often need a vacation to recuperate from a vacation! For now, here is one photo of our little family in front of cabin #24, where was spent our time...though we were not in the cabin much. Enjoy......more details and photos to come. Until then......Happy Trails!Friday, March 09, 2007

Looks like you are all enjoyed your time on the ranch. Chip and I talked about taking our kids there in the next few weeks. Loved your layout...that Basic Grey is so yummy! I need to find some of that to play with when I scrap next. As for the buttons...love those too! You should submit that layout on the CK website- I know they are looking to do an article on buttons in an upcoming issue. Just a thought. =) Finally, loved your playdough post. I've done some blogging about playdough and have yet to scrap a layout about 'my playdough dilemma'. It happened the first time I opened a can in hopes to play with Brock and forget about our "troubles" in life for a moment. I had to catch my breath and hold back my tears, because Teagan's fingerprints were all over the dough from the last time she and I had played together. There was an instant I almost grabbed the lid and put the playdough away...but I saw Brock'a eyes light up for the first time in weeks- so I went ahead and pulled the playdough out...and we rolled Teagan's finger pokes away. I did cry. It hurt so bad, and it was totally unexpected and had caught me offguard. Nobody had warned me about 'playing playdough the first time after the loss of a child'. It was then that I knew that my journey through grief was going to be very personal...and likely to last longer than I could imagine. To this day, I have mixed emotions about that playdough incident. A part of me wishes I had kept those little playdough containers sealed and put away forever. Yet the other partof me knows that it was a very important step to actually do something 'good for the heart'. Even if it was more for Brock's than my own. I am learning day by day just how closely grief and joy are intertwined and tied together. To experinece one is to understand the depth of the other. Sorry to fill your comment section. It's just something that hit me when I read your post tonight. I agree. Playdough is a mess to get out...but there is so much more to 'get out of it' than just a mess and flecks stuck in the boards of the table and floor. =) If you want to read a neat piece about that, go to the blog of a friend of mine, Tom Kapanka. He is our school administrator, and he enjoys writing. One of his recent poems was about the bits and pieces that fall between the cracks...I think you'd like it.

Have a great weekend. I hear the sun is supposed to shine for us here in Michigan! Hooray for the idea of spring!
