The Days Just Aren't Long Enough

I really planned on doing a daily blog. Now it has been almost three weeks and I haven't had the opportunity to write outside of my weekly column. I have been amazed at how well our service dog, Shia, has taken to the family. Sleep (at keast for an entire night) once a forgotten commodity, has now become more routine, as our daughter is kept company by the dog every night. For those with a child with autism or related disorders, a service dog may provide one extra component in the bag of tricks in helping a child. I would suggest Working Class Dogs in Illinois. There are related links from this site to other associations that are involved with training and placing service dogs.
In other news, our oldest daughter has just finished her first course in college. She'll find out her grade on Monday, the same day that she starts her Swedish Massage class. We hear from her usually once a day, or every other day.
If you are from the Freeport or Northwest Illinois area, keep your eye on this site, as well as around town and in the Journal Standard for information about an Irish Variety Show that will be in Freeport at the Masonic Temple on Monday, September 26th. This will be a fundraiser for St. Mary's Church's new community center.
Looking forward to trying to get back to more regular contributions to this site. Hope you enjoy the newer columns that have been added to the Kastle Publishing site. Once again if you are looking for assistance with your web site or graphic design, contact Ben at Luedtke Creative Group.
