Little Mermaid at Beasley Coliseum

The 2008-2009 WSU Family Series just sent out their lineup for this year. The first show offered is The Little Mermaid performed by the Missoula Children's Theater. There are two shows at 3pm and 7pm on Saturday, October 4. Tickets prices are $6.50 for adults and $4.50 for kids.

I just checked www.beasley.wsu.edu and it said "tickets soon." Keep the rest of us posted if you see that the tickets become available.

Fall Registration Is Now Due

Please take a moment to let me know your plans for the fall. If you do plan to join us, please mail in your brochure or drop it by my home. If you won't be joining us, will you please let me know either via post here or email?

The Steering Committee will be meeting to plan for the Fall Session on Monday, August 18... a response before then would be greatly appreciated!

If you need another brochure either for yourself or a friend, there will be extras at the church, at the Neill Public Library, as well as other various locations around town.

Thanks so much and I look forward to seeing you in the fall!

Home Video Software?

Can you guys recommend a software program for editing home videos?
I'm currently using Windows Movie Maker which is terrible with Windows Vista. It is constantly freezing up. So I want to purchase a different program, but have no idea what to get. Do you know of a program that is easy to use and not too expensive?
Thanks.

Are your children in love with you too?

So, given my last email, I have to say, "My kids LOVE me!" How about you?
Yes, according to recent research, the fact that our young children can throw tantrums around us is a sign that they trust us and can be completely authentic with us.
Ah, shucks.

Question: Is this normal?!
