The Groove's October 2008 Freebie Challenge

[sacannon]

Hey friend, have a great time (where are you off to?)

Well, we originally were heading up to Lake Superior again, but the weather is calling for rain most of the time we were to be there, so now we think we are heading for the Bar Harbor Maine area. It will be a short visit, mostly driving since we only have a week to travel. We are getting so we don't like to leave the Mom's for long. Ron's sister is coming while we are gone, just in case something would happen. It puts our minds at ease a little, but we will only travel while she is here. My mom is always falling and needs help to get up. She has been lucky so far that she hasn't done more than bruise herself. Of course she continues to do things she shouldn't do! I guess I can't blame her. I wouldn't like to just sit around all day. Ron's mom has a pace maker and has little choking episodes if she isn't careful when she eats. So our little trips have gotten shorter (time wise) and not as often. We are the only ones here for both of them. I have one sister in Minnesota and one in Florida. Ron's sister lives in the Boston area. So it is just us.

Sorry, my answer got too long!

We live in the rolling hills of Southeastern Ohio and my DH and I both grew up in the country. We love the outdoors and could never imagine living in town. The deer picture was taken down the road about a half mile and the rainbow picture was taken right outside our front door. The other two were taken in Salt Fork State Park on a hike and kayak day we all enjoyed when the children were home. Those two places are probably no more than 5 miles from our home.

I just brought the park up on the internet. It looks like a great park, my hubby and I will have to try that one for something different. We like to go to Hocking Hills periodically, so this would be a change. We live in town, but we like to take drives in the country side all the time! Thanks for the info and great layout!

Wow, you guys are making such great pages using the mini-kit! And your areas of the country are so interesting!

Hey, all you folks out of the states, c'mon! We wanna see layouts made by you about where YOU live!

Note to all: It will probably be next week before I come back and check what everyone has done. Hubby has ACL surgery on Oct. 9 for his right knee... he had that total hip replacement back in May, ya know? Well, a few weeks later he got his feet tangled in his walker and, to save the hip, he made himself fall the other way. Unfortunately, that tore up his knee 'cause he landed smack on it... so he's been in pain all this time waiting for the okay (from medicaid, ugh) for the surgery. I will be busy the next few days with all of this and being with him at the hospital, then getting him situated at home. But I'll be back next week to catch up and see what ya'll have done!

Take good care of your hubby, he needs you more than we do...I guess?! lol Glad your hubby is getting his surgery.

Here is my entry. I love in South Dakota and part of what I love about living here is the fabulous growing season, wide open spaces and fertile land. The picture is a part of my garden. Yes, it's HUGE. Anyone need any tomatoes?

[knzus]

Awesome pages you guys! I feel like I've been traveling all over and seeing some great areas of our country! Keep 'em comin'!!

[knzus]

Only a few more days to get your layouts posted here using the mini-kit! Hey - someone across the pond - we wanna see YOUR areas, too!

I did one . Spokane is about 60 miles from us. I did do some of my growing up there.
