Dots and I manned a Salvation Army kettle outside a nearby mall last Saturday as part of our National Charity League chapter's Philanthropy Day.
Vivian sat us with but complained often, "That bell hurts my ears!"

Checking in on you. :) How was your experience as a bell-ringer? I always feel so badly when I have to pass them up because I have no cash on me. Glad to see Vivian had fun at her luncheon.
I have a little girl in my class with Apsbergers (sp?) Syndrome. (I know that's not Vivian.) Loud noises bother her as well. Whenver we have a school assembly or program, she always asks for her ear buds!
And what a wonderful thing for you and Dots to do together! Loved reading about the NCL!
Married since 1987 to Robert, three grown kids: Will, Vivian, and Dots, one granddaughter: Charlotte ~~~~
Majored in mathematics at SMU, taught elementary school for six years before Will was born, currently tutoring math ~~~~
Things I enjoy: playing duplicate bridge, working NY Times crossword puzzles, reading good books, entertaining, visiting with friends, planning trips, traveling, playing board games, spending time with family, working Liberty jigsaw puzzles, cooking, keeping up with old friends ~~~ happy to correspond with other parents about raising a child with special needs
I unintentionally contaminated all of the pictures on my blog when I changed my privacy settings on Flickr. I am working backwards to correct them all, but it is quite a tedious procedure! If you encounter a post with error messages from Flickr where the pictures should be, then I haven't gotten to that post yet. Please let me know and I will update it immediately. Thanks for your patience!
