Photo Test


Photos seem to be uploading ok. Try reading the Blog Help file from this link or from under the Links section on the RH side of this blog. Sometimes Blogger gets busy, or hasn't had coffee yet. If you try again later it usually works.
Once you get the photo icon, in the Posting work area to open, you can Upload photos one at a time to Blogger and your posting using the Browse button. If the photo, that you have rights to, is elsewhere on the web, you can use the URL option.

The image in your posting (with the dreaded red X) links to what looks like a local file on your PC. After upload to Blogger, it should look something like:

Or if you have a Flickr or Picasa Web Album, you can embed photo images that way by pasting in the HTML code provided on those web sites (Use the Edit HTML tab in the Blogger Posting area). Like this:


Hobie Cat on Big Lake Sept 2002

thanks from Camp Fire

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words... if only I could get the photo icon to open for this blog! Arrgh.

service project a success!

Ten kids, 2 Camp Fire leaders and me. We left APU around 8:45 am last Friday and arrived at the lake under slightly cloudy, but windy skies. After a quick tour, which included newly painted outhouses and a peek in the school bus, we entered the club house for a quick "parts of the boat" and safety lesson. Then, it was off to the sauna for life jackets (we had enough to fit all 10 kids!) and down to the dock to rig the RL. After everyone climbed happily aboard, we set out on the lake. The breeze stayed steady - enough for a small wake - which thrilled many. All who wanted to took a turn at the tiller - including the 2 leaders, Wolf and Oakley. After a 2 hour sail, not a 3 hour tour, we landed on shore w/ kids scrambling for swimming time. The sauna was ready for warming and the play time began. I'm glad the board decided to do this. It felt good, and right and generous to share our sweet place. Many thanks for trusting me to handle it well.
