I Know What You Must Be Thinking!

Where is she?

Why hasn't she posted anything in more than 2 weeks?

Did she run away from home?

"On the run" (not from the law OR my family, but on the run just the same).

"Busy. Busy. Busy." ... and ...

"No" are the answers to those questions (though running away from home sounded like a good idea on more than one occasion!).

Truly, the operative word behind all my musings these past couple of weeks is

being just plain busy. I've really had no time at all to do much crafting.
Ever since my hubby's birthday I've had one thing after another to either attend, take care of, administer, figure out, fetch, plan for or accommodate.

Thankfully I have been able to leave comments on a few blogs, but that's about it.

Hopefully today will mark the end of the lull in the "Sofa Lady news" department.

Lest you think it's been all work and no play, let me show you a couple of pics of my adventures on the 4th of July. Several of us gathered for a ride from upstate New York to the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania - 110 miles one way! It was fabulous!!! The only thing that would've made it even better was if my hubby could've gone too. Unfortunately he had to man the home front and finish the bathroom remodel. (Bummer, I know. I so missed him!) Here's just a couple pics of that day:

This is our group standing in front of the overlook.

We look like a motley bunch, don't we?

And this one is what we could see from the "lookout" point.

Simply beautiful!

I had to get this shot too because it shows how even the guys were taken up with the awesomeness of the view!

And yes, I did manage to get this card done in the midst of my crazy life.

It's for our former pastor's birthday whose big day is July 3rd.

I usually do stars & stripes or red, white & blue, but this year I thought I'd do something totally unrelated to the Independence Day holiday.

I can't imagine what he must've thought as he opened it from his mailbox, but that's okay.

It's the thought that counts, right?

I trust everyone is off to a great new week!!!
