Well, some little gremlins had invaded the server where this newsletter resides and began to nibble away at the database and coding behind the scenes. For several hours on both Saturday and Sunday, I was on the phone with a well known Internet hosting service which shall remain un-named (and I don't mean Go Mama).

The online staff on the other end of the line kept insisting that it was MY coding that needed to be changed/fixed. I, of course, was staunch in my assessment that, "Nothing had changed!" on my end. On Friday it was fine, then on Saturday it wasn't. I had mad NO CHANGES to anything, yet they kept saying I needed to change my coding.

Monday morning, still not working, so I posted a "plain vanilla Newsletter" and tried to glue some of my hair back in place.

So...here it is, Tuesday morning; and it seems that the system is working now. I use the word cautiously, and keep looking over my shoulder to see if I am being followed by any of those little, but powerful, cyber gremlins!

It's a delightful story of Phibian the frog who sees all sorts of different animals and wonders if he will ever be like any of them. Each step along the way, his mother reinforces the same title message to him, that he is special just the way he is!

Kudos to Sandy and her new book that is a sure winner and teaches a great lesson to kids (and adults). The book includes an arts and craft project that goes along with the theme of the book and is a great way for parents to interact and with their kids as they continue to instill this very important message.
