Journaling the trip

Slight delay on the way there.

The hubby and little one were off getting energy out.

I doodled with a ballpoint pen and colored it in later.

As I mentioned in the previous post - Love me some Dunkin'!

This sort of sums up some of the great memories from our time in Ocean City!

Blessings Friends!

The Word

A Coast Guard helicopter crashed Tuesday night in Mobile, AL.  

My husband is a Coast Guard pilot and when anything like this happens it hits way too close to home.

This is something I fear every time he goes to work.  The Coast Guard and especially the aviation community within the Coast Guard is so small, we all know each other and that makes it so difficult when things like this happen.  

Three of the four crew have been recovered, deceased.  The search continues for the fourth.

They were training.  Training to do the mission their fellow Coasties are doing right now to find them.

What I have been reminded, though the week has been very difficult, is that God is good.  

No matter what.

May God Bless and Keep them and their families.

Blessings,

Daphne

Sketch book

Another page from the sketch book for the ScrapbookLifeJournal.

Up in the left corner is a draft of something I'm working on that I'm super excited about.

More soon about that!

They are still filming.  I'm sort of getting attached to all the people and commotion - I'm afraid I will miss it all when it's gone.  Here are some shots from the "Chinatown of the South" they set up.  Obviously not while they were filming, but you get the idea.

Blessings and wonderful weekend wishes,

Daphne

Sketch book

Just thought I'd share a page from my sketch/doodle/watercolor/etc. book with you today.

Inspired by Junelle over at Yes and Amen, I'm going to try to record some of the little things with sketches, watercolors, doodles and words - not just photographs.  It will be great practice/motivation to practice and I'll be recording things I want to remember.

This little page will go in my Scrapbook Life Journal!

-speaking of motivation, I talked to my mom the other day and she said she read my blog and enjoyed it (and so did my Godmother)!  That is great motivation for me to keep posting regularly!  Thanks Mom and Noreen- love you!

Blessings,

Daphne
