Treasures Found!

So I know I haven't posted anything in the longest time and I have a bit to balb about so here I go:

Firstly, this picture that I've posted is a picture that I found on one of my dad's CD's that I burned for him ages ago. There were all kinds of pictures on it, everything from this one of his family Christmas when he was about ten (the kid with his dukes up was my dad) to my high school graduation. Some of the pictures I don't even remember him taking... anyways it was a really good find and made me really happy! The other people in the photo (left to right and back to front) are Mami, my grandmother Rachel (nee Duval) Rousseau, the shorter one in front of her is my Aunt Carolle, Tante Francine, my dad Michel, Uncle Claude is in the suit and my grandfather Charles-August is on the floor. I never got to know my grandfather, he must have died shortly after this picture was taken since he died when my dad was twelve or so give or take a year.

Secondly, I didn't complete NaNoWriMo. I'm very dissappointed with myself but I got stuck at the midway point...it still aggrivates me and I am determined to finish this story before my birthday. Grrr...anyways November turned out to be a really busy month for me, busier than I anticipated and so I think that was part of my problem. I'm still working on it though! never fear!

I'm off to the Vineyard again today for another Jewelry show which is great plus I get to see mom. The only real down side is that I have to take a early boat to get to work on time on Sunday. Oh well. I also found out that we may or may not be going to England this summer. We're supposed to be renting a flat but that is dependant on if Nick's stepdad gets his bonus or not since it's quite substantial. I've decided that even if we don't go I'm still going to go to Austria to visit my family there. I hate to go alone but maybe mom or Uncle Hansi will go as well. Who knows, I haven't really ironed out all the details yet but I know I should and the sooner the better since plane ticket prices only go up and up.
