I’ve been doing tons of web junk lately, adding PayPal buttons to our Ruffing’s site, enlarging the print images, showing the prints in simulated frames, adding dolls to the doll gallery. The unfortuate part is that most of it isn’t “live” yet because it needs more work, and you can’t even see it on the Internet yet. So, none of that feels very rewarding. I got bored today and made these “Space Fish”. I have no idea what that means. I was was watching Doctor Who again last night. Maybe I’m just on a SciFi kick.

Gold Medals and Arboretums
So, S.B. gets a gold medal for delivering my scrapbook to my grandma and visiting with her for awhile. She seemed to really enjoy the book and the visit. I actually made S.B. a “gold medal”, but I forgot to snap a photo of it.
We visited the J C Raulston Arboretum, and I was hoping to get some flower photos, but everything was a little past its bloom time. There were still some very pretty lilies and these Gloriosa Daisies.
Scrapbook for Grandma
I’ve been spending most of this week scanning and editing old photos, and arranging them onto scrapbook pages. My grandma has recently gone to live in a nursing home. My uncle had been trying to look after her in her home, but she needed around-the-clock care. It’s very sad that she can no longer remember things she once knew, or recognize some of her family or, often, her own belongings. She does seem to be cheerful most of the time in her new home, and has plenty of people around her, as she has always liked to have. But I am not sure she knows me, or many of us in the family anymore.
