This weekend is the annual Greek Festival in our town. As seems traditional, one night tends to have a tremendous rain, and while we didn't plan to go Friday night, the weather was true to course. Potential tornado for a lot of the afternoon and evening, and then a real downpour at night.
So for their final day this year, maybe rain will be "Never on Sunday".

365/Project Life 12 week 19
I am truly going on my own way with this yearly project. Some days get a full layout, some days get jammed into a week's layout, and some weeks are a bit condensed.
Week 19 saw us going to the beach for a convention/retreat and then coming home to get ready for the trip to Italy.
I LOVED the combo of teals on Katie Pertiet's papers. (hint! these are free ones!) They blend very nicely with the butterflies on the Pocket Page template. Serendipity when that happens! I could let you think that I seriously planned it all down to the most minute detail, but alas...I'm not quite that perfectionist. I love seeing other people who have ten zillion elements on their page but a template like this has more than enough for me. I can add a few more things on my own and be very very content.

Because that Italy trip covers weeks 20 and 21, I'm forging on with Week 22 next so in my own mind, I'm caught up. Trips take many more pages and Italy will be one of those! Are you still doing a 365 or Project Life? Remember, there are NO rules! If you skip weeks, you skip weeks. Anything you do is better than nothing done. Seriously...but be sure to have fun!

Flashback Friday: Not This Year
Even as we come back from a big trip, one of the trips that always is up front in both our minds is...England. Even though there is no driving for us in England - that was not a pleasant experience for either the driver or the panicky navigator! - we have managed several trips to London and one to the South of England that involved the memorable driving.
Last year, it wasn't The Wedding we planned to see or attend - as if! - but we did manage to be in England just after the nuptials. It was so much fun to see all the decorations and souvenirs for sale. But in addition to London, the trip took us north to Oxford. We had a week in a flat in the Oxford Union that was just perfect. Right in the heart of town, and despite some nightly noise from the students, it was ideal.
Oh the weather! oh the gardens!
Another trip to England? well no, not this year, the year of the Olympics. I'm not a dedicated fan of the games, and I certainly don't need the crowds. But 2013? you never know!
