Learning new things!!

Well what do you think? Do you like my slide show? It didn't take long to put it together, but it took a little bit to figure out how to get it on this blog!! They had a way to put it on as a post but I wanted it to play at the top of my blog. So I sent an email SOS to my dear SIL and she gave me the information I needed to get it up and running. Thanks Elizabeth, I really appreciate all the help you give me on the blogging stuff and webpage stuff. I'm still working on a webpage. Not sure if I really need to do that or not.
Well on to other news. We spent most of the weekend working outside on the neighbor's trees. Well actually, James and the boys spent the day cutting them down. I ran into town to get groceries, then came home and did housework. I also got supper done so I could help when it was time to put the branches through the chipper. About 5pm our friends, Keith and Mara, came over with a chipper and we worked until 8pm getting it all chipped and then Keith hauled it over to the back of our property with the Kubota. (spelling?) Then everyone came in and we had a picnic supper of cold chicken, potato salad, fruit salad, baked beans, and chips. We were all so tired and hungry, that I don't think it would have matter what we ate. Then after everyone left, the boys were put to bed and we sat out on the deck with a fire in our chimnea. That's the first time we've had it burning. It really was kind of relaxing just to sit there and talk with Levi and his girlfriend, Becca.
Sunday morning it was off to church and then home again for a quick bite of lunch. Then we headed to the lake to swim with some friends. We all had a really good time splashing and swimming. That is the first time Jeremiah has been there. He really had fun playing in the sand. Brendon was pretty brave, except when James would try to get him to come out and learn how to swim with him. The main thing was that everyone got cooled off and had fun too!!
After we all got home, James and the boys went to his folks to pick up some stuff for the dump, and I went to a baby shower for my niece Joy. She is due the beginning of August. Poor girl really is uncomfortable right now.
Now here I sit at my computer enjoying some quiet time. I have Emily today, but took her and Jeremiah to VBS. It is the first time for him and he was pretty excited. It was a little weird for me to drive away. I'm so use to him being with me or with the Grandparents that to leave him with someone else was kind of strange. I guess I better get use to it though since he will start school next year.
Well MHH just called and wants me to bring him something to eat for break so I have to run for now. Hope all is well. Take care and God Bless!!
