Flat Smiley's First Trip

Our Flat Smiley has recently arrived home safely from his first trip. At the end of last month, he went to visit the Neill family in Griffin, Georgia. On the Resurrection Day, they took him to enjoy a family feast and an Easter egg hunt. The family graciously introduced him to some of their favorite local attractions such as Atlanta Motor Speedway (1.5 mile race track), Stone Mountain (which has a carving of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, General Robert E. Lee, and Lt. General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson), and the Georgia Aquarium (the world’s largest aquarium featuring more animals than any other aquarium in more than 8 million gallons of water). The family also took him to Chuck-E-Cheese and Toys-R-Us. It was a sweet treat for Flat Smiley to visit Marble Slab Creamery; he brought home a napkin from there

. Flat Smiley had tons of fun with the Neill family during their spring break vacation. They took him to Edisto Island in South Carolina. He collected some sand and seashells to bring home. On their way back home, they stopped by Paula Deen’s store and restaurant called Lady and Sons in Savannah and then Bass Pro Shop. We thoroughly enjoyed reading the journal that the family recorded about their adventures with our Flat Smiley. We are so thankful to the Neill family for their hospitality and kindness. Flat Smiley’s first trip was truly memorable and filled with smiles

DVD Review and Giveaway: A Mile in His Shoes

A Mile in His Shoes is a family-friendly movie (PG) about a young man diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (a form of autism) and how his God-given talent (his amazing throwing ability) helps him and others. It's about overcoming challenges in life. It is based on the book "The Legend of Mickey Tussler" (a true story). It's directed by William Dear, the director of "Angels In the Outfield." It stars Dean Cain who plays Arthur Murphy, a baseball coach and Luke Schroder who plays Mickey, the main character. Excellent performances! My family and I enjoyed this movie. It spoke to my heart deeply because one of my kids has symptoms that are similar to Asperger's Syndrome but the doctors diagnosed him with anxiety disorder, instead. My son is very athletic and great with numbers like Mickey. He is also sensitive to noise and crowds like Mickey. When Coach Murphy sees Mickey (a farmer boy) throw apples at a bucket for his pigs, he knows that he has just fo...
