Cropping ..Beach Style

I have just returned from three glorious days on a cropping trip to the beach with some special friends..

This trip is designed to be productive, fun, and relaxing..

Relaxing to cropping addicts is.. making an entire book for a daughter about a trip to Alaska..

Trying to catch up on at least one year from your family album..

It is just good fun to record all family events and things we do as we live our life each day..

It's another one of those creative outlets, that I am addicted to..

The joy of it all is when my oldest daughter returns home for a visit and the first thing she does is..head to my latest album to see what all we have been doing...

My heart swells when she says..Oh MaMa, you look like you having such a fun time..Oh look ! Mary Fuller looks so cute here and Brooks is growing up so fast..It makes it all worth it to hear her laugh and remember old times we have celebrated together..

Our cropping trip was filled with diet foods, yes..we stayed on program, the entire time..

Exercise..some more than others..I did my thirty minutes and headed to the pool in my clothes ( I forgot my bathing suit ) but I didn't let that stop me from cooling off..

Laughing..lots of laughing..

Water...we should have had a tally on the bathroom door before you entered, cause we drank lots of water to keep hydrated and energetic..

Exchanging tools of the trade..that is lingo for borrowing one anothers stuff..

Sharing with one another about the love we have for our families and our faith..

Just thanking God for the beautiful surroundings we were in..

The beach place is , oh so beautiful..I stayed in a room fit only for a queen..I felt like I was The Queen Mom or something..Layed up in a big beautiful bed, watching a little tv, reading a little, sleeping a little, just loving up life in style..You know, I am all about some STYLE..

Thanks to our friend who graciously lets us invade her beach home with such grace and love..

Loving up our time together and can't wait to record some more memories together ..at the beach..at the beach..at the beautiful beach..

Robin, I was at Desoto yesterday and saw Jeane Carroll...I just love her. Anyway, I got wind of the blog and had to check it out for myself. Very fun. I am sitting here wondering if the next time I see you will be Garner's wedding...seeing how there are no more Vise's to marry off...and being sad about that. So, if yall are ever in Chattanooga, please find me! Melissa (Craig) Powell, 423-903-0302

Great RECAP!
Not only do you go in the pool with clothes another cropper stood in the outside shower in her clothes after a LONG walk.
Don't let us forget the camp( not funny) & the check Drama ( the biggest laughs) with two of us, but someone always has " she's got some troubles" going on when we are together.
