Happy Summer

I'm not online much, or posting, because my 7 year old computer is so full I can't download my camera or reliably get email without deleting stuff off the two maxed out hard drives. So I'm working on backing everything up, slowwwwwwwwwwly, manually, and then hopefully I can get this dinosaur running...

We're having a great summer so far. Lots of time spent at the local swimming hole, where Mikro is taking swim lessons, and playing outside in the yard. Field trips to things like the World Science Festival, Prospect Park Zoo, local historic sites, and I forget whatall else. Since I can't download the camera (which substitutes for my short term memory), it's all rather a blur.

We have a new pet-- a tiny little frog for whom I am learning how to make fruit fly cultures. Homeschooling definitely leads one down some unexpected paths! We released the mantids a while back, and were a household sans creepy crawlies or critters for a few weeks before Tiny Blue Hopper (who is tannish greenish, but named by a 5 year old) took up residence.

Will check in when I can, but until I get this machine to behave, it will be sporadic...
