Frog Leap

This is one of those hard easy puzzles. Get all the frogs to opposite sides. (Click the frog to make it hop.) If you can't figure it out, the video below shows the solution. Even after I watched the video, I couldn't get it right. Click the red triangle to rest the frogs.

The Institute on World War II and the Human Experience

All residents of Coquina Crossing are invited to a very informative and interesting program on Feburary 11, at 7:00 P.M. in the ballroom.  The Coquina Crossing Veterans are having Anne Marsh, archivist with Florida State University give a presentation about the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience.  All residents who have letters, pictures or any kind of mementos from WWII are urged to come.  Have you thought about where your mementos will end up?  Don't lose them. You will learn about how FSU is preserving personal memories and souvenirs of WWII so future generations can learn about those experiences and how they affected our families and society.
