I never realized how much having a Braille note would change my life. From the moment I took it out of its box I have been reading books from bookshare and web Braille and proofreading my own writings, and I feel like I have Braille back in my life!

I was sitting at home watching the news waiting for 9:00 to come so that I could call the vet and get the results of Rainy's blood work.

It was really, really, really cold this morning! That means summer is over. I love LaborDay weekend because it always means a picnic!

The house feels empty without my puppy! Oh ( Read more... )

The three year old boy has autism and the community searched and searched for the little boy. On Monday the girlfriend of the foster father told what had happened. The family left the little boy locked ( Read more... )

I got to see my girl today! Emma Marie is just so darned cute! I got to hold and cuddle her and we weren't there nearly long enough! I guess Auntie Jen is going to just have to remedy that somehow. I am just so excited she is now real to me not this baby that I hear crying when I call Mindy. I want her to know who I am and love me even though I ( Read more... )

I returned home Friday morning right on schedule at 11:45 AM. Thursday was a long and exhausting day just not knowing how security was going to be. Mike drove me to my friend's house in Arlington because I didn't want to take the metro. It was nice and it took my mind off of things. I woke up at 5:00 to prepare to leave for the airport.
