I think I have made close to a dozen now on various topics, plus calendars and so on. <br /><br />The one that I made about my dad, I left at the nursing home in his room for staff and visitors to read. My plan is to make more copies of that book for my grown kids and their families and my nephews and their families. I wait for free offers. So far I have made two more copies and only need a few more. I think they will all enjoy them. <br /><br />Vintage Valentines are so sweet, aren't they? Did you check out my featured post about them?

The pics of your grands are precious and I can certainly relate...the oldest is 18 and just finished high school and his brother is 16 and getting his license! The other two in TN are 10 and 8 and before we know it they will be grown as well! It is a bit sad to see them grow up. :( Enjoy the rest of your week!Debby Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02499542865677173703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-29939352753770266342017-02-08T14:33:56.065-05:002017-02-08T14:33:56.065-05:00Oh Julie, thank you.

I didn't work really hard on it, just checked my files and folders for pictures that might work. <br /><br />As I mentioned to Beverly above, that snow picture is from a previous February. I sort of get to the point where I stop taking pictures of the snowy landscape. It really does mostly look the same. Nothing new, as you said. Sorry that you have to go out in the snow.
