A cool summer treat

So the picture doesn't look so great but trust me this is a family favorite. I mean, what would you expect it to look like; after my son ran it upstairs. How could I not use it for the picture!

Jul. 16, 2007 - Changing Seasons

Posted by peaksandvalleys1991

In less than 3 wks, our daughter, son-in-law & son are moving out of state. That's alot of change at one time for me! How did we get to this stage so quickly? I've been doing alot of reminiscing recently & many things we did in our homeschool over the years comes to mind. I hope I can share some helpful, fun things with others. When I look @ all we did, I wonder how we got it all done! It was alot of fun though. When will school start for you this year? Maybe I should rephrase that: Does it ever really stop? :)

Hey,
I seem to be having trouble seeing your posts. Could it be due to the width of the page? Just wondering. Any suggestions? Thanks! Patty

Hey there,
Yes, we use Internet Explorer. I can read your July 6th post, but anything above that is elongated width wise & doesn't fit on my screen??? I hope to be able to read your other posts! I do not have the most computer knowledge in the world so I may be doing something wrong. By the way, we LOVE Pooh Bear & Friends! Don't you just love the DVD "Winnie the Pooh & the Blustery Day?" That was one of our favorites. Would appreciate any suggestions you may have for reading your blog! Also, once I post a comment on your blog, I cannot read it on the screen as the page size is too large to fit??? I'm puzzled?
