three cups of tea and stones to schools

I went to a presentation with Greg Mortenson last night. He wrote Three Cups of Tea and Stones into Schools. He is an incredible man. Mark my words, he will receive the Noble Peace Prize. It was an incredible night and I definitely look at the world differently

hey guess what???

we have a new DT member over at Pages in Time. Her name is Alda Stevens and she is uber talented when it comes to putting a sketch or two together. I envy her!! She did a card sketch for PIT's blog today and this is what I came up with.... imagine it's the same sketch that I used for both cards. stop by the PIT blog and see what you can do with the sketch, I would love to see it!

out with a bang

2009 sure went out with a bang for us.... we were at my MIL's house for New year's. Gary and the boys (Ryan, Tim and Herman)were outside and Herman had asked Ryan to jump on the skidoo and get something for him from the barn. We didn't know all of this was going on as all the girls were in the house. All we heard was the skidoo revving and then a bang. I thought someone had hit the house.... sure enough I was right. it seems Ryan got on the skidoo and hit some hard ice and snow and that pulled the skis in a different direction than he wanted to go. -he hit a shrub first and paniced and hit the throttle instead of the brake and ran straight into the deck. The only thing that was hurt on Ryan was his pride. It could have turned out so much worse. See how the ground dips under the deck? If he was going faster, the skidoo whould have gone farther under the deck and he would have been hurt if not killed. I am very thankful for that. needless to say, Ryan's nickname is Crash now.
