I have never been a real fan of Wal Mart. But, my opinion is softening of late.
Did you know that they are designing their stores to use less energy. All of the newer stores have skylights that illuminate the shopping space. When it goes cloudy ( for a period of time, not the passing stray cloud), the lights will become a bit brighter to make up for the light deficit.
And, did you know that Wal Mart has become the larges retailer for CFLs (Compact Fluorescent Bulbs)!
At any rate, they have the ability in their Bakeries, to take any photograph that you may have, scan it, and convert it to an edible image that they lay on top of the icing! The cakes are not bad as store bought cakes go…
Just wanted to share!

For the past several months I have treated this area as a Photo Journal… But, recently decided to change back to a more traditional Journal page! I still continue to Photo Journal, you can get there by clicking here.
Things have been a little chaotic since the 22nd, when school ended for the year. I spent a good bit of the time building a swing for Roy… It is more than just a yard toy. I designed it to allow him to grow into it, rather than outgrow the swing. It's constructed out of 5 4×4s, 2 2×6s, 2 2×4s, and several carriage bolts, and swing hardware. It will allow 2 adults to simultaneously swing… and the cross board doesn't bow….It has been in use for a few weeks, and it has already made a huge difference in Roy's sensory needs.
He is already packing for our trip to Colorado. What a time of year to go to the desert!
We have learned something in our preparations for the trip, actually, we were reminded of something we already knew. People with disabilities, get into National Parks for life for free. You have to present National Park folks with a letter from a Doctor stating the disability.
More to come later….

Vickie
I took this yesterday, 29 November 2008 with a little Canon pocket camera…
She is one of the sweetest dogs you will ever meet, all she wants is to love and be loved by her humans!
She not only expects affection from her humans, but demands it!
