Celebrating Autumn and Hallowe'en
Posted on October 3, 2007
Fall here is filled with walks in the woods, canoe rides, and of course pumpkins. A friend of ours grows gigantic pumpkins which he enters into local contests each year. This one, in the photo, is approximately 550 lbs!Click here to enter our contest! If you send photos of your own pumpkins we will post them up for everyone to see. All submissions will be entered into a draw and the winner will win a copy of Celebrate Holidays. Good luck!
I often think about my young nephew the genius. He spends all of his spare time online. Sound familiar? But how much are kids actually learning? Click here to read my thoughts.
