Computing Review: August 11th Through August 17th

With summer wrapping up, I have been trying to capture as many of those carefree summer moments as possible with my digital camera. The weather has been cooler this month, and I can’t believe that school will be starting soon. I will definitely miss my oldest child, since he will be starting first grade and be gone all day.
