What's Up---June, 2009

STORY HOUR

CONANT PHOTO GALLERY

Almost summer! Wow! Times goes by so fast! You know the theory about why it passed more quickly as you age? Well, a year is a much smaller portion of your life as you age. 1/60th vs 1/5th,
so of course, it would seem to pass more quickly at 60 than 5!!
