| August 22, 2011 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Yes, this is a post that is entirely based on pictures of Tess. We had a social BBQ at school yesterday afternoon, and a classmate took a ton of pictures of the dogs present, including Tess. Tess did well – especially considering she’s just 5 months old. I did let her off leash to play, […] more
The importance of a continuing education
| August 21, 2011 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Have your opinions changed over the years about certain products or technologies?

Just today I’ve started to get some serious excitement brewing in my gut and I’ve been bouncing around like a….. School Girl!
