Club Janke

I went to South Dakota (and Iowa and Nebraska - sometimes all 3 in just a few minutes) to visit my dear friend Peg last week. It was such a wonderful, restful break in mi vida loca! I think I'll make it through the holidays at least! We spent two full days, in our jammie pants - no hair or make up -- and made homemade cards. Peg had everything set up and has TONS of great papers and doo-dads to work with. (I have tons, too, but wouldn't know where to begin to find them in my mess!) She had precut, pre-printed, filled the house with snacks and diet Coke....it is a wonder I ever came home! I got to see her two darling grandchildren, Aidan and Ayla. Aidan was waiting for me at the airport with a "Guh Leseberg" sign he had decorated. (My grandkids call me Guh) I hadn't seen their mother since she was about 10 or 12, so it was great to see Kendra too -- and meet Aaron, her husband. Did I mention Peg's husband Roger? What a great sport to give us DVD set ups, news updates, etc while I was there.

The last day, Peg treated me to a SPA DAY! We had pedicures while we ate lunch, had manicures, and then a MASSAGE. Oh, the decadence of a massage -- I'd never had one. I was almost purring by the time it was over. She may have created a monster.

I took pictures of our mess -- but not how neat and orderly the den was before we began our marathon! I actually make a bigger mess by myself when I actually sew or scrap book.
