Welcome note

When my husband and I set out to find and take pictures of wheelchair accessible waterfalls in every U.S. state, we were excited about the challenge. We gave ourselves no time limit to accomplish our feat; however, we had one mutually agreed upon rule that dictated how long we would stay in any given area. That rule was to never shiver again. Needless to say, adhering to this rule presented a new challenge. The new challenge was to find a waterfall that was actually flowing. Visiting mid-west and eastern states during months that prevented us from shivering are the same months that are hot enough to dry up streams; hence, little or no water flow for waterfalls. The natural scenery and picturesque landscapes warrant a second visit in the early spring right after the snow melts.

Project education update...

Be prepared. When you least expect it, you'll need medical information for yourself or someone in the family. Go here to get a copy of a book that I wrote out of necessity. I needed Bob's medical information time and time again. I designed the book by using a variety of medical forms that repeated the same information over and over. The book is only $14.95. That is 14.95 well spent dollars. It can also be used in emergency situations. If available to EMTs, all of your medical and identifying information is right at their disposal.Included in this book are stroke and heart attack warning signs, caregiver lifting tips, and travel first aid tips. Important information right at your finger tips. Get a book for everyone in your family.

I was told today that Zachary will need to go to a room that the school provides everyday to complete his online classes. Now, figure that one out! He needs to go to a building to work on individual online classes, not group activities, but individual online classes. We have Internet at home, and I have a Ed. D. I've taught at the collegiate level for 14 years. I think I'm qualified to supervise; don't you think?

Last night, I emailed the Superintendent of the Oregon Department of Education. I proposed to supervise and report statistics for a pilot duel program for students to take electives in school and complete classes online. Cross your fingers to see a positive answer. I added a piece on progressive learning too. Progressive learning is a concept that started right here in Oregon.
