I am so glad to be back home from Tampa. Like Dorothy said so accurately: "There is no place like home".
Here we go:
Thank God everything went well with my husband's back surgery. Fortunately, because it was laser surgery, we were able to leave the next day. With this type of surgery you can walk out of the recovery room, nothing like the traditional kind in which you would have to stay in the hospital for several days. Like I said everything went well, however, he is in a lot of pain, which was expected. He has to take it easy for the next few days, and soon he will start to feel better. Just being back home it's a relief. Thank you all for your prayers!
One thing about this trip, it was raining constantly, plus this part of Tampa doesn't offer much to do, but at least I got to finish my Camouflaged Letters and Numbers. I had so much fun making these, and color these samples was such a stress reliever! Click on each image to download a free sample. If you want the whole packages, they are on sale for $1 TODAY ONLY! After today they will go to their regular price.
I am so excited to find Susan Barton, a wonderful advocate for Dyslexia in Pinterest. This disability has been always important to me because my son and husband are both dyslexics. I couldn't describe even if I try the frustrations I have both experienced and witnessed.
Since my son started school, I've always been on the search for resources, tips, ideas, information, or anything I could find about it. One of the best resources I found was Bright Solutions for Dyslexia. (you can sign up for free newsletters). Now, I have also found her on Pinterest, and I was amazed at all the information you can find there.
This letter below was included in a newsletter she sent a long while ago, but I have saved in my computer, and every time I read it it makes me cry as I think of my son and wonder if his new teachers will consider things like these:
I recommend you to follow her Pinterest, you will find so many helpful tips, and relevant information. Here it's, one more for you:
For number five, you probably already know, but just in case you didn't hear about it, TpT is having a "love back to School" sale:
See you there!
Thank you for reading!
I'm glad your husband's surgery went well! I know how stressful that can be. My mom had open heart surgery on Tuesday. She is still in the hospital, which gives me lots of computer time to get work done while she rests! I hope he has a quick recovery!

I'm so very glad that your husband's surgery was such a success! I hope that he is able to recover quickly without too much lingering pain!! I love your camo letters, what a super fun way to practice identifying letters and numbers! I can relate to your troubles with dyslexia, I am okay with words but I ALWAYS transpose my numbers in my brain so nothing ever makes sense when I try to handle math equations!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're able to have an incredible weekend and enjoy whatever summer you have left!!
