Updates and weekend adventure

Sorry I have missed some posts from the last few days. Things have been busy since last week. My mom came home from the hospital late Thursday. They still don't know what is wrong with her, but the doctor referred her to a cardiologist. They think she may have heart disease. More to come on this.

Saturday was spent with my friend Michelle at Archivers. I swore I was going to keep up on my scrapbooking, and I held my own end of the deal. We did the WHOLE day thing- from 9:30 am to 11:00 pm. What a long day, but we had a blast- it is fun spending quality time with good friends! I finished all the pages in the 8x8 book, and even added some more. I still have lots of pictures from the 2007 Vegas trip to add, but I am looking for just the right papers. I will post some pics of my pages in the next few days.

Joe was actually off again on a weekend day, so we took advantage of it and went to Como Zoo. It was such a beautiful day we just wanted to be out side, and what better place then the zoo. I have not been there in at least 10 years. I forgot what fun it is at the zoo. Since my last visit, they added the merry go round carousel that used to be at the Minnesota State Fair (visit the link http://www.ourfaircarousel.org/history.html to learn more of the history of the carousel). Boy did that bring back memories of my childhood. Every year we went to the fair, we had to ride the carousel as that was the one ride my dad would go on. They have also added on to the conservatory. I love that place- all the beautiful flowers and scents. As I love taking pictures, I have to say I went a bit crazy while at the zoo (I took over 200 photos- wow). I have shared a few of my favorites below.

Enjoy!
