A Song Reveals An Amazing Gift

Amazing!

I was looking for a song to post for Father's Day on Facebook for my wonderful hubby... being he has 2 fabulous daughters, I immediately went to you-tube looking for Paul Simon's 'Father and Daughter'.

As I listened to the words, "I believe the light that shines on you, will shine on you forever" .... "There will never be a father who loves his daughter, as much as I love you," I knew this was the song.

So, what is so amazing about that??

As I was listening to this song, Sahara booted up the computer, went to the right drive and selected our backup file for The Wild Thornberrys Movie. Firstly, we have 4 drives on the computer with 100's of files. She was able to pick the appropriate drive and find this file among all the others with zero assistance. Amazing!!

Secondly, If you don't know... Paul Simon's song Father and Daughter is the theme song for this movie. So, not only did she find this file, she found it because she recognized it while I was listening to videos on you-tube.

Amazing!!

I have to wonder... is she reading the words on the computer files or does she have them pictorially memorized? She is just entering the world of communication and although I read to her I do not think she can read.... or she can and I don't know it yet?

Any way it is amazing... if this child can memorize this many icons and files and know where each is categorized... what a gift she possesses. I think this is an answer to my question... should we revisit her picture communication program? This is a most astounding YES!

Money Saving Tip #6: Go To The Movies For Free

I know I haven’t posted any new money saving tips in awhile, but this one is just too good to keep to myself!

Yesterday.. I popped onto twitter to read some of the inspirational quotes before the dinner time crunch. I noticed ColumbusMovies posted a free ticket code for a complimentary prescreening for the new movie SHORTS.

AMAZING, RIGHT!?!?

Here’s the Bottom Line… there was no catch!

This is what we did:

1. Follow ColumbusMovies on Twitter.

2. When you see a post for a complimentary screening, enter the promo code in the link on the twitter post.

3. Print how many tickets you need. (Up to four)

4. Arrive early to the theater (the press and first come are served first).

5. Enter stadium 30 minutes prior to show.

6. Relax and enjoy the show!!
