The Month of June

My plan for this blog had been to post at least once weekly. In June this just didn't happen. And that meant that I had started writing about curriculum planning and then left you hanging on that; I'm sorry. I hope to get back to the curriculum subject very soon.

June was a busy month. We had our newly-blind college son Paul here for a visit from Kentucky. Getting him here was a challenge because our flight got delayed, and in order to get him back my husband finally decided to drive. If you're interested, you can read about Paul's visit here:

I've been rather anxious about him getting services, but it looks like it's finally going to happen:

After Paul got back home, I had a Catholic homeschool conference to prepare for, where I had volunteered to be on a panel for homeschooling special needs - hoping there would be parents of blind or visually impaired children present to talk with. Although there might not be, I still wanted to be prepared. The speaker coordinator had told me she'd like me to help, regardless, since I know how to homeschool while overcoming obstacles...like you, probably, if you're reading this. So I gave a brief "You can do it" introduction of myself and then helped answer questions.

All of this, along with some concerns for my father who lives across the country, have meant that blogging here just didn't happen. Please bear with me and I will try to post on more curriculum topics soon.
