Where's Kathy been?

I've been everywhere!
Alabama to Chicago to Gurnee, Il to Minneapolis to Thief River Falls, Mn to Wisconsin and back to Home Sweet Home Alabama...

  We did the fun walk for Mane In Heaven Therapy horses... only the 1k  but at least we showed up!

   We took my mom to Clearbrook, Mn,to see where she came from, way up north , stopped to see the cemetery where her dad was buried, she had never been back in 50 years.

 We had a balloon release for my dad on October 2, its been a year and I really miss him.

 We went apple picking in Wisconsin with are granddaughters at Apple Holler in the rain, so new shoes for all when we got done, but hey we are making memories they will never forget!

I am back home, doing some scrapbooking and card classes.
I am back with Close to My Heart, hoping to get some classes going near me again!
