Well hello readers. It's Gilbert here again. As Mom told you in the last entry, we are back in school and though Mom has had a lot of reading to do, she says it is nothing compared to last semester. In fact, her work load feels so manageable that she decided it wouldn't hurt toContinue reading "The Life of a Party Animal"
Readers Digest Restores Blind Woman’s Confidence!
Well friends, I am going to have to interrupt my studying one more time for another long overdue news flash, but this time it is exciting news! Last Sunday night shortly after posting my last entry, I felt the beginning signs of a cold: that ominous sore throat when you swallow and an unusual amountContinue reading "Readers Digest Restores Blind Woman’s Confidence!"
Another Perspective on the Zoo
Hello friends. I know I said that the entry I posted on September 2 could be my last journal entry until Christmas so I could focus on studying. But after receiving an outrageous/hilarious/pathetic e-mail Thursday night, that plan has changed because I just could not resist sharing this e-mail with you. But before I do,Continue reading "Another Perspective on the Zoo"
Some Thoughts as I Return To School
Hello readers. I hope you all enjoyed the address from Snickers, the queen. She is right that I absolutely love and adore her, but I should point out that while Snickers says I favor Gilbert, Gilbert is jealous because I give too much love and attention to Snickers! I just cannot win, I tell you!Continue reading "Some Thoughts as I Return To School"
An Address from the Queen
Hello readers. This is Snickers, the adorable feisty cat that Allison hardly ever mentions in this journal. I know this is probably because a large segment of you humans think dogs lead more interesting lives than cats, so she wants to cater to the largest audience possible. But since she and Gilbert have had moreContinue reading "An Address from the Queen"
An Eventful Week of Family, Fairs and Flu
Hello again loyal readers. It has sure been an eventful week since my last entry. Last Sunday, I was woken up at the ridiculously early hour of 5:00 in the morning to shower and do some last minute packing, and by 6:30, my parents and I were in the car for an eight hour driveContinue reading "An Eventful Week of Family, Fairs and Flu"
A Wise College Decision
Last Saturday at my college, there was a preview day for incoming freshmen to register for their classes if they hadn't already, tour the campus and seek advice for how to be successful in college from older students. My work at the switchboard where I have fielded a lot of calls with questions from incomingContinue reading "A Wise College Decision"
Renewing My Vows to Gilbert
Well, hello readers. Gilbert and I are back from the fair, where we had a great time! Neither of us probably need to eat for the next week since I gorged myself as usual with a brat, half a grilled cheese sandwich, a quarter of a burger, two cheese curds (basically deep fried cheese thatContinue reading "Renewing My Vows to Gilbert"
It’s a Wonderful Dog’s Life
Hey readers! It's Gilbert here again! Today, I have officially been a proud guide dog and loving companion to my mom for two years, so I am sure she will write the traditional sappy entry about that sometime this week. But today, she wants me to write another entry about the unusually eventful week IContinue reading "It’s a Wonderful Dog’s Life"
Hello Mother, Hello Father–Memories of Overnight Camp
Alright readers, as promised in the last entry, now I will tell you about my experiences the three summers I went to an overnight camp for the blind. I didn't exactly love overnight camp, and I will get to the reasons why in a moment. But this camp was definitely more true to the campContinue reading "Hello Mother, Hello Father–Memories of Overnight Camp"
