Email List
I’ve been reading for a long time that folk like me (writer’s/bloggers) should set up an email list serve. I’ve been putting that off for a long time now. There are a few reasons for that. First of all, I have little idea of how to set up a list. Every new thing I add… More Email List

Coffee Break before Camp
This is the last of my three days of rest before camp starts again. It started around 6:30am with my son letting me know he was ready to wake up and play.
