Note to Readers:

The journal is posted in reverse chronological order -- the most recent at the top, so if you want to read the journal in order, from start to finish, you have to click on each post individually in the list along the right side of the page.  You will see a list of August postings and below that "July (6)".  Just click on the July to see the postings that were done in July (which would be the first 6 entries).  If you have any comments, please post them.

If you want to see the photos enlarged, just click on a photo and you will get a larger view and a thumbnail list at the bottom that you can use to bring up each photo in that particular entry.
