Boy what a great day! It looks like they had a lot of interesting things in the parade!

Those are pretty crisp pictures, you must have a nice camera!

Default So that's what was going on!

I guess I picked the wrong day to drive around and look at houses! I drove over 70 miles and got off at Exit 182 and the road was blocked! Oy! So I drove south on I-75 to Toledo Blade and used my GPS to find alternate routes. I highly recommend a GPS with text-to-speech if you are house hunting in an unfamiliar area. I never get lost any more.

Well, Happy Birthday folks!

It was a really nice day. The festival seemed to be rockin', but I didn't stay too late (4:30?). The City and the committee that put it all together should be commended. I hope everyone who was there enjoyed themselves tremendously.

Wow, Bill it does look like we were right across the street from each other. I was nearly on the corner of Sumter & Price, across the street from the Walgreen's. It seems as though everyone there had a really good time!

If you want to fix that just put the pictures in an album in your profile and then copy and paste the image source link into the post.

Hope this helps

Will they appear like your's are then? Or will just the url show up like the guy who posted pics of his garden, and then open in a new window? (Sorry, forgot your "name")
