Reed graciously invited us all to attend her portion of the Virginia State
Convention.</p>

than one way to carve a pumpkin, there is definitely more than one way to blind
parent. Whether you are a blind home schooler, blind father, and, yes, even a
blind homesteader, there is always something new we can glean from each other.
At times, we have all felt there is nothing scarier than parenting, so come on
out for some sharing and exchanging of ideas on how to skin the cat!</p>
