Mike Jung wrote a book (which I haven't read but I really really want to- you will, too), titled Geeks, Girls and Secret Identities. And then he wrote a song about writing a book!

Yesterday was a heavenly day! Hub and I got our granddaughter to ourselves for almost four hours. Such a pretty, smart, funny and just perfect little girl!! How very, very lucky we - her parents and grandparents - are.
So, when I saw this video posted over on GottaBook, I had to share it. Every child is beautiful. Every parent feels challenged. But some of us have been "blessed" with more challenges than others. My heart goes out to parents with differently-abled children and I doff my virtual hat to them in respect.
