It's difficult, in the middle of July to think of cooler weather and going back to school. But that's just what will be happening, before we know it.

I'm still hobbling around with a fractured kneecap. Some days are good; some not so good. It seems that the more I move around, the better I do. Not easy for a lazy-daisy, let me tell you.

Had a wonderful trip to Colorado at the end of May. My daughter got married on the 31st and, thanks to her and her hubby, I was able to attend and spend some time with them in Fort Collins.

The wedding was at a beautiful country club near Golden, with an incredible view of the foothills as a backdrop. After 7 years in Arizona, I was afraid that I'd freeze to death at that altitude. But the weather was just perfect! As a matter of fact, by the time I got home, I ended up with a mild case of sun poisoning.

I haven't really kept in touch with the family, so seeing my nieces all grown up was quite a shock. My brother looked a little older, but I swear my sister-in-law hasn't aged a day! Must be that clean Colorado living!

It was great to get home - and tough to get back into a routine, even though I was only gone about a week. (Told you I was a lazy-daisy!) Mark transfered all of the pictures I took onto the laptop and then I managed, before getting them uploaded to my site, to crash the only computer in the house! Luckily, we had a neighbor with recovery disks.

But that didn't save the pictures. So, I've been bugging everyone who had a camera to send me their photos. Very, very sad ending to a beautiful week.

Since then, I've been keeping busy: blogging like a crazy person, writing articles, publicizing the website, updating my Squidoo lenses (there are 4 now), creating new products on Zazzle, and editing like a madwoman on Best Of The Web.

You'd think I'd be exhausted. Well, I guess I am, but I've also managed to turn my body-clock completely around. Wide awake at 2:00am; dead on my feet at noon!
Well, I never claimed to be normal, now did I?!
Enjoy the rest of the summer!
And don't forget to 'stop by' and say "HI".
