Time passes so fast!! I can't believe its the 18th already. Such a busy time of year. I have a love - hate relationship with summer. I love the warmth and all things summer, I hate the humidity and the schedule it brings. With summer camp, I work double shifts that make it impossible to get anything done. I have three hours between shifts and I can't seem to get much done in three hours, then back to work until 7 or 8. By the time I get home..... I'm tired. Can't seem to think straight with everything that's running through my mind. I'm worried about my dad and am trying to figure out how to get there to see him SOON. Thank you for the well wishes for the family. I do appreciate it! I'm not doing very well with keeping up with the blogging. I'll try to keep you posted on things when I find out.

A little more information
After a week of tests and blood work, we have a little more information on my Dad. The blood work actually came back good and the lungs are clear. But they have scheduled a Colon scan and Cat scan for the entire body. They are thinking that the cancer has started somewhere else in his body and spread to his bone. He arm that he broke still isn't set, it's in an air cast until the finish the body scans. Then they will probably do surgery to remove the cancer and go from there. All of this is suppose to happen in the next two weeks. Then..... hopefully we'll know where we stand.
On other news...
Samantha graduated last week. She's now in Ocean City for Senior week. Unbelievable how time flies.
So much going on... and so little time.

Bittersweet memories
Last night was Prom night....Sam's last big dance before she graduates next month. Bittersweet. She looked beautiful (as always) so pretty in pink. Her dress was made by Danny's mom. She did a beautiful job with it. And I loved the flowers.
She and Danny look fantastic. Of course, they went in his new car. A BMW convertible, and it started raining as soon as we finished with pictures. But..... it was so perfect for pictures right before it rained. I have to give a HUGE thanks to my hubby Rob for taking the best photos. I was at work. YUCK. But he did such a wonderful job! He got some amazing pictures. Thanks hon!! Bittersweet memories. So, this is her last formal for high school and she's very excited to be leaving and starting a new life...yet, so sad to leave behind all the things that she loves. She's going to school for photography in the fall. She doesn't know it yet, but got her a Canon Digital Xsi with 2 lens and all she needs to make it work. I can't wait to see her face when she opens this! She's going to be so happy!!
Our son -in- law graduates from Highway Patrol School this week, we have graduation for him on Friday. I guess he's gonna be near philly with his work for awhile. That's a little far from home, but you have to take what they give you when you first start. They'll have to do a lot of traveling for the next couple years. Hopefully, after a few years he'll get a station closer to home. They just built a house near Binghamton NY, right on the NY/PA line. It's in PA of course, you can't be a trooper for PA and not live in PA.
Rick and Amber will bless me (and themselves of course) with another grandchild in August. That will be the 6th grand baby! Gotta love that. Kayla, Tre, Tyler, Makenzie, Ricky and James. I'm almost afraid to ask...will there be more? It's nice to be at an age that I can enjoy them also.
Rob's liking his new job, there isn't anywhere near as much pressure in this job as his last. After having a few months off though, he's having trouble with adjusting his body back to a work schedule, but he's getting there.
I'm doing my usual, taking care of the house, bills, laundry, maid service, cook, computer lab person, shopper, driver and all around busy person.
I did scrap a layout last week. I haven't scanned it yet, but I'm happy that I scrapped.
I've almost finished reading "The Host", the new book by Stephanie Meyer. It's a good read, but it's not "Twilight" It's good, very good.
I can't believe that May is coming to an end and June will be here along with summer camp and LONG hours. I really hate summer for that reason! Working from 8-11 then back to work at 3-7 or 8. Long days...and LOTS of kids. Oh well. Time just goes by way to fast. And the older I get, the faster it goes.
So, busy busy busy is my days! I hope to get a little more settled and back into posting more. A huge thank you to all my blogger friends who've hung in there with me during my "overhaul" It's still a work in progress. I'm almost done with my little break I think. Huge hugs to all of you!!

May...already?
Where does the time go? It's amazing how fast the time passes, I can't believe it's May already. Before you know it, it'll be the 4th of July. Time passes much to quickly for me.
I've been busy doing the usual, "normal" thing for this time of the year. My daughter Samantha will graduate in June, and starts college in the fall. This is what I mean when I say time passes to fast. My son in law is graduating from police academy this month and is now a PA State trooper. I'm preparing to be a Grandmother again in August. That makes 6 grand baby's, and another boy. That makes 2 girls and 4 boys. Dang, I feel so old sometimes.
I got to meet up with some ladies from the Twilight board last weekend. I can't believe how sweet those ladies were! Had a blast! Of course, we took a picture!
To bad the one on the right is photo shopped! Wouldn't that have been fun? We had a blast and I can't wait until tomorrow to get my new book "The Host" by Stephanie Meyer. I'll be reading tomorrow. That's for sure! I'm waiting very patiently for August for the last book in the saga and then December for the Movie. I know, I'm gonna fall in love with the movie.
I've been working alot getting ready for summer camp. I love summer, but hate summer at the same time. My work hours are terrible and I never really get to enjoy the season. I'm always at WORK. I really want to take a few days and just get away this year. I do plan on flying to Reno in September or October to visit my newest grand baby due in August. Can't wait for that.
I haven't been scrapping at all. I'm just so not into it right now, but I did go to the scrap store and spend $60.00. I don't believe I did that. lol, I can always find something I love, but it just sits there. I really need to kick myself in the butt. I seem to have lost my mojo to do a page, but not my mojo for buying scrap supplies.
Rob seems to be enjoying his new job. It's a huge building that he over sees, 2.5 million feet!! It's down town Harrisburg and he is in charge of making sure the building (inside and out) run smoothly. There's a lot of things he has to do. But, he's enjoying it.
Aledia, thanks for reminding me to update. I'm so horrible right now. So many other things on my mind. I can't seem to settle my thoughts at all. Thanks to all of you that have stuck with me in this crazy time!!

April showers bring May flowers
Well...another week has passed and it was so nice!! Two days in the 80's! WOOHOO. Today however, I woke to cloudy sky's and much cooler temps. This week the highs will only be in the 60's. But that's okay! I'll take that over snow and cold any day. The trees are all blooming and the flowers are out and about. It's soooooo much nicer! I'm enjoying this weather so much. I planted pansies out front and cleaned up the back porch downstairs to, moving all the firewood to one side of the porch, adding the firewood holder and then re-stacking all the firewood again. What a pain, but it looks really nice and clean. I told Rob that we really need to build the flower bed up and add more dirt so I'm hoping we can do that soon! I also have a picket fence that I'm adding to divide the flower beds. It looks so cute. When I'm done, I'll add before and after pictures. In the mean time, here's a couple of picture of spring around my neighborhood 
Enjoy!! I know I am!
