Hi, Shelley. As a guide dog user myself, I just wanted to say that I'm glad Judson is doing so well in his new surroundings, too. It sounds like you're really loving it where you are and I'm so glad things are working out for you there. Definitely keep us posted. We've seen you through a lot of the past few years and I'm glad you finally have a job after all your hard work. Take care. -- Julie Morales Email & Windows/MSN Messenger: mercy421@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype mercy0421 AIM mercylab421 http://juliemorales.avonrepresentative.com/ Currently in Winchester Regional, Virginia Overcast, 35F°(2C°) Wind:Calm The deer hunter does not notice the mountains. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shelley L.

Well the Braillenote for like a month, smile. Judson is a fantastic dog, I know I have said that before but he has really proven his worth to me, smile. I have never learned how to use subways, but Judson knows them, and well so he is teaching me how to use them, what the "yellow" line means, where the platforms are (I will not go any further forward till a silver car shows up), and how to naviagate around the tracks and the stations. I am really proud of him. O.k. enough of the bragging on the great dog. Things are going great. I got to meet most of my students today, am missing three I believe, and I am thinking there is no way I could hit them all in one day. They range in age from a first grader to a high schooler or three, smile. And they read print, braille, large print maginified and everything in between. But I am finding it rewarding, and love it. The apartment is huge, and the library is on the bus line. I just need to learn how to get to the actual library and I will have it made. read a lot of books while not having access, and found them all to be truly great. The Cater Street Hangman is great, and Is It Me or My Meds, gave me a lot of food for thought. I also had a chance to read Dark Lord from Dirkhelm which could stand a rescan, isn't truly horrible but isn't excellent either. And let me see what else. Plan on writing reviews for them eventually. But wanted to write a howdy and let you all know what we are up to. Now to go shopping for necessities, and then do my laundry that needs to be done. Got home early today, or maybe i want to just go get a nap, hmmmmm, thoughts to think about. Shelley L. Rhodes B.S.
