Adding Images – The Reality!
Breakfast Blogging Club June '09
We recently had our 11th meeting of the Breakfast Blogging Club. It was a full house, with 10 participants – and even an unexpected drop in! – made welcome by Beth. Thankfully we were able to squeeze everyone in…barely!

Having said that…here we go.
