dyk a spelling test came home of ABi's --- grade 35 she missed 11 of 12 but got the bonus

dyk I could tell Abi had herself corrected them -- after the fact of course, but she KNEW the words -- like at home practicing

dyk I wrote a note to the teacher asking her what she thought happened since Abi did know the words and she corrected the ones that were wrong

dyk I just realized she must've thought I thought that Abi had written them correctly the first time, lol

dyk I think she thinks I"m an idiot>? or that I think she's one? WTH

dyk I meant like were there extenuating circumstances, did she refuse to wear her glasses, was she overly tired, etc?

dyk and the guide dog recipients have such moving stories about how the dogs have changed their lives and their families' lives
dyk in the ladies room, the wife of a guide dog recipient told me their story. Her husband (in his early 60s) went blind suddenly. For 2 years, she cared for him and he was depressed, dependent and disabled. She did not know him anymore. This summer, he got his first guide dog. Her word on the transformation: "I sent a disabled man with a dying spirit who I did not recognize to the training center. Two weeks later, my husband came home."
dyk I cried, and I don't even know these people.

Dyk and now I'm crying too!

Dyk such a moving story!

Dyk I cannot forget the bookclub mishap myself?

Dyk at this time in my life I find myself wanting to travel with my own personal seat cover?
