<DIV>Sherri,</DIV>

<DIV>I'm right there with you!! I found some vitamins "Women over 50 - One A Days", although I'm not yet 50, I think I am going to buy them especially since my brain is going to be put into overdrive soon.</DIV>

You know why I'm laughing right? Our memories (smile)!!<BR><BR>Well, let me tell you this story about travelling around that building...<BR>One morning after getting breakfast on the first floor I thought to myself...glad I have some vision to navigate this hotel...well, less than 60 seconds later I find myself trying to get into my room. Talking to Marion from the other side that I can't understand why my key is not working. I'm sure you guessed it..I was at the wrong room. So, when I realized this I hastily spun around did get out of dodge to find this nice wall to spash into. Serves me right for my initial thought.<BR><BR>The first floor was the most confusing of all. I would find a place, but can guarantee the second time I was searching for it again. The last day we were there I was looking for our bank which we had found the day before. I was so tired and confused, I was stating to Marion that I hated this building. Now, I loved the convention and would love to go back to Detroit and the building as well. Next time, I just take some notes!!! (big smile).<BR><BR>I have always had the opinion that it is easier to maneuver in a crowd with a dog than a cane and that is because, as Mike Hingson said, they find that hole and zip ya right on through it. I do know seeing all the dogs working so well made me excited about getting anothe guide!!<BR><BR>I am very proud of the NAGDU division and (of course) my wonderful husband!!<BR><BR>Merry<BR><BR><BR>Jul 10, 2009 02:15:44 PM, <A class="parsedEmail parsedEmail" href="mailto:nagdu@nfbnet.org" target=_blank>nagdu@nfbnet.org</A> wrote:<BR><BR>Hi Merry and Marion,<BR><BR>First I want to commend both of you for a great job with NAGDU at convention. I unfortunately missed the business meeting, but the other meeting was great. The speakers were particularly interesting and I enjoyed learning more about dog massage.<BR><BR>I have a question. Both of you attended the convention without dogs. What for each of you was the most striking difference in navigating, traveling, etc.? Though the dogs get stressed, I find it much easier getting around places like the Ren Center with my dog than with a cane. Just wanted to know.<BR><BR>Did you two attend the council of dog guide school's reception? I did not see you there. SEGBY and some other schools were there that did not attend the NAGDU meeting. The reception was very nice.<BR>Sherri<BR><BR><A class="parsedEmail parsedEmail" href="mailto:Flmom2006@gmail.com" target=_blank>Flmom2006@gmail.com</A><BR><BR>Check out the link and send your used cell phones to help the blind<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>nagdu mailing list<BR><A class="parsedEmail parsedEmail" href="mailto:nagdu@nfbnet.org" target=_blank>nagdu@nfbnet.org</A><BR><A class=parsedLink href="http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nagdu_nfbnet.org" target=_blank>http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nagdu_nfbnet.org</A><BR>To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for nagdu:<BR><A class=parsedLink href="http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nagdu_nfbnet.org/merrys%40verizon.net" target=_blank>http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nagdu_nfbnet.org/merrys%40verizon.net</A><BR><BR><BR><BR>------------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>nagdu mailing list<BR><A class="parsedEmail parsedEmail" href="mailto:nagdu@nfbnet.org" target=_blank>nagdu@nfbnet.org</A><BR><A class=parsedLink href="http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nagdu_nfbnet.org" target=_blank>http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nagdu_nfbnet.org</A><BR>To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for nagdu:<BR><A class=parsedLink href="http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nagdu_nfbnet.org/flmom2006%40gmail.com" target=_blank>http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nagdu_nfbnet.org/flmom2006%40gmail.com</A><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>nagdu mailing list<BR><A class="parsedEmail parsedEmail" href="mailto:nagdu@nfbnet.org" target=_blank>nagdu@nfbnet.org</A><BR><A class=parsedLink href="http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nagdu_nfbnet.org" target=_blank>http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nagdu_nfbnet.org</A><BR>To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for nagdu:<BR><A class=parsedLink href="http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nagdu_nfbnet.org/merrys%40verizon.net" target=_blank>http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nagdu_nfbnet.org/merrys%40verizon.net</A><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></html>
