Why "Masker"?

In college, I was a member of a sorority that was known as Maskers. There were 11 of us girls, all juniors, and 11 seniors. I was the 1997-1998 Masker #7. It was a highlight of my college years and I have used it for computer user ids since then. In the 10 years that have followed, however, I am learning the value of taking off the fake "Mask" and being true and authentic with myself and others. THAT is the purpose of my blog.

April Already?


Things have been busy around our house so blogging has had to take a back seat. We're doing okay...just had to deal with a lot of family drama.

Cassie has had many fun adventures lately. Poppi took me and Cassie on an adventure last week to ride the carousel, finally. I'd been taking her to the mall but we wouldn't actually ride the horses...it's $2 per person so I decided we didn't need to spend that money. She's played at the park across from her Tiaboo's house and had some special reading time with her Granma.

The BIG hit in our home lately is "Signing Time"--I decided to start learning sign language with Cassie via some DVD's I heard about on the TODAY show. We borrowed a few at the library and now she LOVES to watch Signing Time. We've both learned quite a lot of sign language and her vocabulary has grown exponentially as a result. I cannot begin to express how much our daughter loves these DVD's! Check out their website: www.signingtime.com
