Reviews of all kinds....

For any who don't know-I have changed the setting on comments so you now have to verify a bunch of letters when you comment. It is nothing big-but it will eliminate all the annoying spam comments I have been getting. There is nothing as disappointing in blogdom as thinking you are getting a comment from a friend and it turns out to be an advertisement! SO-there you have it.

Today I am doing last minute preparations for the yard sale at my mom's house-and then we are off to spend the night out there. I hope to make a bit more money this weekend. Would be nice! Though I already had a yard sale this summer (-and made good money at it too!) it is always surprisingly easy to find more things you don't need. I took all my other yard sale leftovers there and have since come up with three more laundry baskets full of stuff plus a karaoke machine.

I have finished two James Harriott books and am starting the third. I really enjoy his books-despite what I consider his great womanizing characteristics. He is a good author though-and while veterinary medicine doesn't captivate everyone-I can't imagine anyone NOT being captivated by his books. I am also going to do a quick run-through of the book Caddie Woodlawn. I got it at a rummage sale the other day and I wanted to read it before I put it in the library. I can't be sure, but it seems to me I really enjoyed that book as a young girl.

Michelle told me a while ago, about a preschool reading program for young'uns called Starfall.com. I have used it quite often and Corynn does really well with the letters. She is SO good at repeating things-she says letters and sounds and words PERFECTLY! She differentiates from sounds and words so well! There is certainly nothing wrong with her hearing, that's for sure. Anyway-it is really great and you should check it out! Starfall Reading Program

Oh-and one more thing. Another great site I have found is for lovers of Jan Brett. She is an author/illustrator of children's books that are just BEAUTIFUL! Her website is chock full of coloring pages, stories, activities, and other free stuff. Very cool. Here is the link for that...Jan Brett's Cool Stuff

I added some pictures of our dinner two nights ago. Matt was a the chef and made homemade waffles with our newly acquired waffle maker. This is the first time I have ever had homemade waffles and I CAN NOT tell you how delicious they were! Especially topped with the Maple Syrup Matt made! It was so del-ish that I had to post pictures. They were picture perfect.

Now I am off to tie up loose ends before our weekend away. Have a great weekend!
