Love your summer post, Lori - it's so pretty, but most of all, it looks 'cool', not 'scorching hot' like the weather we're having...temps above normal for this time of the year. Looks like it's going to be a "Long, Hot Summer".

Summertime as a kid....no school, swimming every day, Padre Island vacations, popsicles, going barefoot.....

Hi Sistahs and Finest Friends....Isn't mama_bears thread just perfect??? One of my favorite childhood summer memories was the "Good humor man" turning the corner with his piped music...we'ld all run out of the water and get in line for "orange creamsicles"!!! Spent all day in the water....nights of bonfires and s'mors!!!

But sigh...playtime is over atleast until 5:00!!! Have a wonderful summer day all!

Just the kind I like!

Thanks, Billie. Did you notice the little ladybug? My attempt at a simple animation. Also, the ants on the welcome ping graphic. I know there should probably be three ants and they are way too big compared to the picnic basket - (although you might have them that big in Texas, LOL!), but was too tired to work on it anymore. I am trying to learn my animation program. It is slow going, but I am making progress. :-)
