It is time to tally up the comments on my blog for the past month and reveal how much money will be going to the "cause" of the month!!! The month of April was designated to Megan Emerson for support of her work this summer at Carolina Cross Connection. You can read all about it by clicking here. I am thrilled to report that a donation of $205 will be made immediately to help fund Megan's work this summer in North … [Read more...]

I’m A People Person!
By · 44 Comments
Recently a blogger friend, Karen, posted a Personality Test result on her blog over on one of her blogs. I first found Karen at Grab a Book From Our Stack where she and her husband read and review quite a number of books. They have a couple of blogs and the fact is that I got the Comments for a Cause idea from them a couple years ago! I don't visit there as often as I used to but I still enjoy reading what they post every now and then! On this particular day when I surfed over there … [Read more...]

A Special Day for a Special Guy
By · 24 Comments
Today is a special day! It is World Down Syndrome Day 2013 and today I celebrate my brother in law, Carlton! Carlton is such a joy to our family and over the past several years, especially, I have shared on my blog many things about how Carlton has enriched our lives. We had the privilege to live with him for about 7 months and it was an adventure beyond my wildest dreams at times but one that I would never trade in the world. One of my favorite things was waking up to his morning … [Read more...]

It's Friday already again and after some tussles with my laptop this morning I am finally up and running. Someone, and that someone shall remain nameless, walked across my open laptop last night repeatedly and things were being typed in invisible ink this morning when I arose. Well....I got it fixed and THIS someone will not forget to close her laptop again!!! :-) As always I am joining Hilary for her Friday blog hop. It is always great fun to see what blanks there are to fill in each … [Read more...]

Life with an adult with Down Syndrome is interesting. I always thought I knew my brother in law, Carlton, but until I actually lived with him for 6 months I did not have a clue. Not that I got it all figured out after 6 months of living with him but I do understand a lot more than I did before and that is a good thing. We had to have some regular maintainance done on the house and so the HVAC guy came to check things out. Chris mentioned that the upstairs was always really warm and … [Read more...]

Rogue Comments
One of the bonuses of having a blog is getting to read comments and as you know I am all about the comments!!! I have a really great spam filter that catches most of the non-legitimate comments and I am VERY grateful to have that as the spam folder fills up fairly fast. If I had to wade through all those and subject the rest of my readers to those I would probably cry. But every now and then when I go to check and make sure that some of your valuable comments did not slip into the spam … [Read more...]
