I started this blog a little over a year ago. A few days ago, the page views hit 5000! Wow, I would have been ecstatic if one person looked at it and got some kind of comfort, a good chuckle or the feeling of, "oh, yeah, I've had that happen to me too!" Thank goodness for Lauren and her computer and photography expertise. I didn't even know how to turn the camera on and take pictures before she showed me :) Yes, that's how much I knew about operating our camera. I love that I can write about whatever is on my mind. Sometimes it's quite a bit!! I try to keep things in perspective and not hop on my "soapbox" too much.

We all lead such busy lives, I appreciate that you have taken the time to spend a few minutes with me. What I have come to realize at the ripe age of 49, is that nobody's life is perfect. I try to see the glass half full versus the glass half empty of every situation. Ever the eternal optimist!! Life is to be enjoyed and each day is to be cherished!! Hope you come back again to visit me soon - have a terrific day :)

Since I prompted Dominic for so many years for speech, he has become "prompt dependent." What that essentially means is that he will look at me for a prompt, like, "what do you do next?" I do that one a lot. Dominic has been going to a private speech therapist for over ten years and she reminds me often that Dominic usually will know the answer, if I am patient and wait for him. That has been a very hard habit to break! Dominic has an incredible memory, so I put it to the test this morning. I didn't write out the steps, I wanted to see how much he could do completely on his own. We have a customer picking up his order today, but the only thing that had been done is putting the cookies into t...
I will have a great day, if you will. Love, Auntie
