More importantly though, this blog was created for the purposes of teaching and learning. What do we know about blogging? Not much.Yukikohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07552909220845753001noreply@blogger.comBlogger51100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8138176190038740524.post-9626779433846036512009-12-10T18:16:00.000-08:002009-12-10T18:23:08.286-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ST6mr51fh58/SyGsQZMwOqI/AAAAAAAAAts/qfNxam8rCH8/s1600-h/DSC04981.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ST6mr51fh58/SyGsQZMwOqI/AAAAAAAAAts/qfNxam8rCH8/s320/DSC04981.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413797624718310050" border="0" /></a><br />This afternoon Yuki and I had to drive North of the Merritt Parkway to see SNOW. I brought a chunk of it home, wrapped in newspaper and tossed it on the deck for her as a reminder that winter will soon be here....won't it?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8138176190038740524-962677943384603651?l=pardee18.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Yukikohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07552909220845753001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8138176190038740524.post-3927672324183097002009-03-11T17:08:00.000-07:002009-03-11T17:17:54.517-07:00Daylight savings has brought many gifts, the greatest of which may be brighter evenings. Yukiko seems to sense that the time change means more out-of-doors time or "leash-time" as we like to call it.<br /><br />"Wouldn't you love to take the dog for a walk?" her eyes seem to beg, "We can go now, and still be back in time for you to feed me!"<br /><br />The warming weather makes walking a more appealing activity for almost everyone, but especially for Yuki's Grandpa Frank, who is recovering from a knee replacement and making great progress. (Be well, Dad!)<br /><br />Happy walking, everyone!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8138176190038740524-392767232418309700?l=pardee18.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Yukikohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07552909220845753001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8138176190038740524.post-51323315595380668332008-04-22T10:33:00.001-07:002008-12-10T13:44:06.307-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ST6mr51fh58/SA4hpCIq2yI/AAAAAAAAAi8/LfDmnGGvohw/s1600-h/DSC04121.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ST6mr51fh58/SA4hpCIq2yI/AAAAAAAAAi8/LfDmnGGvohw/s400/DSC04121.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192124409236347682" border="0" /></a><br />Here it is!
