Sandi Bates-Young
I am a native Kansan from a large family of three brothers and two sister. I married young, however, have managed to stay married to the same man for almost 30 years. My husbands name is Gene and I have a wonderful grown daughter, Miranda whom is married to the most wonderful son-in-law of all time, Jeffrey. They have provided me with two grand dogs, Gidgit and Moose and two grand ferrets, Hodini and Gus. I also have two young boys, Nicholas and Alexander that keep me very busy. The boys and I are dyslexic and ADD so our house tends to be a bit loud, wild and chaotic, at best. We live on a small farm with our beloved German Shepherd, Silky. Three family ferrets (Snow, Annie and Buddy) and two equine companions (Buddy pony and Cassie). Everyday is an adventure for us, and a challenge and in true country spirit we meet it head on. I love to garden, mow, spend time outside and believe it or not, hang laundry out on a clothesline. Being dyslexic has enabled me to be creative, handy and a bit crafty, and inventive. I love architecture, researching and crocheting among just a laundry list of likes and abilities. Hey, I am ADD so I am all over the place....:)

Boys and WormsI can only imagine you might be thinking intestinal parasites, ick!! Well this is not about those worms. Even though I am sure they are newsworthy I chose to talk about earthworms and little boys.

Brother = NuisanceIf you are dyslexic you totally understand the scenario I am about to discribe, if you are not dyslexic then maybe it will give you a minute glimpse at what a dyslexic goes through numerous times a day.

A Moment in the Life of a Dyslexic ChildHave you ever had one of those moments that seemed to have lasted an eternity? I am sure you have, as most people have, but imagine looking at a page of words and not recognizing any of them yet you are asked to read what you see out loud.

Mowing SnowWhen children hear there is a chance of snow in the forecast they are all a buzz of what they are planning to do with the massive amounts of snow they expect. Whether it be a dusting or inches, it doesn't matter to their young hearts....its snow!
