Before you begin I want to mention that I have
been told that some
of the pictures on my pages aren't loading
properly.
If this should happen to you just right click
on the area where
the picture is supposed to be and select "Show

I have been told by the support team of my
hosting service that this problem
is a fault of MSIE and that we will have to
live with it.
A few people have asked how are
strawberries were doing this year.
