This is June?

I woke up this morning to a temperature of 12 C, and rain.... it's hard to believe that last week it was 32C and we were sweltering in the heat.! I'm not sure which is the lesser of 2 evils, but I think I actually prefer the heat and sun to this. This is kind of depressing for mid-June.
My leg is slowly getting better. I went to Physio a few times last week, and the girl I saw was amazing. She diagnosed me with a bad hamstring AND calf muscle pull. I am pretty sure just one of those would be painful, but the combination is pretty agonizing. I've been working on some exercises, and combined with the torture massages she's given me, it seems to be working. She did warn me it will take weeks for it to get back to normal, but right now, I'm just happy that I can actually walk again. I had an MRI done on my knee last week, just to make sure there's nothing wrong there, but I won't have those results until Wednesday.
And my son's leg was a minor thing- seeing as he's not old and decrepit like his Mom, he has healed up fast and is back to normal. ;p

I got an email yesterday that completely made my day. A few of my Aussie  friends have gotten together to form this group, and it makes me very happy to go over there and see some beautiful clean pages. No frou-frou, no misting, no excess of product... just simple, well designed layouts that highlight photos and a story, which to me is really the basis of it all. In honour of their little group, I will leave you with a layout I did last week about my Father. It's not rosy, and there is not a lot of product on it, but I think it's one of my most favourite layouts in a long time, because it's a really honest account of how things are.

Please head on over to their blog and check out their beautiful work!
