National Memory Screening Day is November 13, 2007. What is National Memory Screening Day? It’s a way to detect Alzheimer’s disease, and other related illness, and to encourage appropriate intervention. This day was spearheaded by Alzheimer’s Foundation of America.

Not only is it important for those who are becoming older to take ask themselves a few questions to see if they might need a memory screening if you have a family member that is suffering from memory loss it’s important that you encourage them to be tested also. Looking at the questions that are asked I know my grandmother suffered from all of them.

My grandmother had developed Alzheimer’s disease.  It’s hard to watch someone you love forget who you are.  She was rarely sick, she had a tremendous amount of energy, and extremely positive.

Our family hoped for a cure that would bring the memories back to someone we loved so much. She passed away on November 4, 2004. She was 93 years old. Of course I miss her and during this month I think about her more than I already do. She was a positive role model that left a tremendous impact on my life.

Log onto National Memory Screening so that you can find a screening site for yourself or someone you know that is suffering from memory loss.

It’s seems just like yesterday that it was Saturday I finally lift my head up for a moment and realize that this week has flown by very quickly. Whoa! where in the world has the time gone? Things are settling down, a little, thankfully I was still able to take a few moments to smell the roses even though I was busy. That’s important yah know and it’s something I encourage all of us to engage in even when we are “busy”.

Business is Blossoming

My business is busy it always is around the holidays and I’ve added on a new business account, always nice, I really, really, need to start looking for help although I’m not looking forward to that process. I know finding the right fit will be hard. I’m extremely selective.

In other news…

I’ve been writing about homeschooling as a single parent over on my homeschooling website and I’m enjoying it. The site is young, about two days, but the articles had already been written I just put them into the virtual space. Yesterday I received 180 visitors mainly people reading the few articles I have actually published. I’m getting a lot of responses via email and that is nice.

There are a lot of people out there in my position or who want to be where I am now. I’ve always kept a journal about our homeschooling sessions but I decided that I would share with others it wil be a great chance to connect and interact with others who are in my position. I contacted a few people prominent people on the net about the issue and have already heard back from two of them. I was impressed because they stay fairly busy.

It’s Arrived!

My book Insects: Their Natural History And Diversity arrived in the mail today! I wrote about it in my Homeschooling: Exploring Nature post and I wrote about the delays in Right On Time: Insects Their Natural History And Diversity. I’m giddy! It’s over 700 pages, with well over 2000 color photos. I’m in insect heaven. There was a hold up in shipping it out much to my dismay but thankfully it’s now where it belongs. In my hands! I’ve already identified at least ten bugs that I’ve seen around these parts this year and I’m sure I’ll be able to identify more when I have the time to peruse the book at a slower pace. I’m hoping that I’m able to do that after my daughter goes to sleep this evening.

Virtual Visits

I’ll most likley get back to my virtual visits, responding to comments left on my blog, via email this weekend hopefully my workload will have slowed down by that time.
