Green With Envy

(Boy, am I jealous!) Ruthie is up and running with her new blog, so everybody made sure to pay her a visit. It is called trip with ruth and it focuses on her repertoire of travels. Ruth gets around! She has her "Favorite European" hotspots listed; and I was proud to say that I've been to two of them (Barcelona and Paris). I would love to visit Galway, Ireland someday.

Speaking of travels, I've been working so hard on my scrapbook lately! I'm documenting our summer of 2004 when Tim and I took our European excursion. We sold our house in TN and spent a month backpacking, Rick Steve's style! We had the most amazing time, stopping off in seven different countries: England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Spain, Italy, and Greece (at least major city or two in each). We had a digital camera and took hundreds of photos! (If you're interested, check out my fotopage for some of the highlights... it starts on July 25 and runs sporadically through a couple months after that).

Well, about the scrapbook, have you ever noticed how hard it is to pick the photos that really matter and leave out all the rest?!? I hate narrowing them down and I think it is obvious by the sheer bulk of scrapbooking I still have left to do! (It's soon to be the summer of '06, and I've done just about 1/3 of the '04 trip!) I am just now finishing up our visit in Scotland and our book is already full. Maybe this scrapbooking thing is really a marketing scam. More later.
