Getting used to this....

So thankful for Kevin and his assistance tonight! He has given Mom a few lessons, and made this look so much easier than it is... He makes anything on a computer look easy! I need lots of practice :^)

Two more days in the classroom to get everything ready, then it's back to school for teachers. Really praying that this unbearably hot weather will subside--- and SOON!

Don't forget about Open House this Thursday night at 6:00, Blue Pod, room 114. See you then!
