STSA: I Am Thankful
My family – we’re Thanksgiving people. We hold Christmas sacred, but we love Thanksgiving almost as much.
With that in mind, I want to pass along something to make you think as much as smile. Several people, in fact, sent me something similar. Thanks to Kate, Denise, Dave, Heather, and Alexis from parts scattered wide and far.
In addition to the following, I am thankful for you, too.

So, in their honor …

STSA: The Sermon
I was on the fence this time about whether to do something Halloween-related or not. We were never big fans of it around our house, but we did buy candy for other neighborhood kids.
So, rather than ghouls, goblins, spooks and specters, I give you an important lesson from the pulpit.

STSA: Dentist Sign Language
It’s time for my six month visit to the dentist.

Then, you can just hold up a corresponding number of fingers to the appropriate phrase you wish to convey to your dentist.
The dentist would not need to stop to ask you to repeat yourself and could fix the problem right away.
