Vacation Mode!

I can not express the crazy emotions felt over the past couple of weeks!
July 10: Market...One year since we were flown out to Saint John Regional.
July 11: Dalton went to Camp Goodtime...summer camp for cancer kids and their friends. As usual, I was in tears as I left him...summer camp always gets me, but this time it was worse.
July 12: One year since Leukemia Diagnosis. A very emotional day for me, glad to sit by the shore by myself. Dalton was so excitred to go to camp this year, and I am so thankful he is healthy enough to go.
July 13: spent some time with Kathy, mom of Dalton's IWK friend Sara. It was good to just talk about our journeys this past year.
Rest of the week: spent with great friends I haven't seen in ages. Very relaxing week...especially my hour and half trip to MICHAEL'S!!!!
Philip came up for the weekend, and we went to the Camp's closing ceremony...very nice; Dalton and Sara received medals for "graduating" from the camp Good time (under 12) to the Junior Leadership Camp (13-16). He had a great time! The rest of the day was spent doing lots of laundry and getting things aired out and packed for Caton's Island Camp!
On Sunday, we took him to Brown's Flats.
Today...
I REST!!
Did my usual trip into Frenchy's, and got my haircut. I finished my novel, A FEW MILLION PIECES, and worked on some scrapbook pages... lots of fond memories as I am doing Dalton's Surprise Birthday Party at DECH. What a great day, despite the fact Dalton couldn't have the birthday party we had planned, due to low counts. We have been so blessed with new friends.

This week's Challenge: Create a layout of your "Thoughtful Spot"...where you hide out to relax, and think about those many blessings! I would love to see what you come up with.
I'll post a picture a little later of mine...It reminds me of a card Yvonne made for me a while back...with a picture of my Aunt Joyce's shoreline...my thoughtful spot!
