This one was called Sylvan. It's clubhouse is in Verona, right next to the Oakmont Yacht Club. I don't think they were too thrilled having our clubhouse and docks next door. I didn't go far once I got in though because the current on the river was pretty fast and I wasn't sure I was strong enough to fight it my first time out there alone.

He doesn't have any savant talents, but he is an intelligent kid. His problems are mainly with social skills. He just can't carry on a conversation without telling you exactly what he thinks. He is very "single minded". He likes what he likes and has no patience for things he isn't interested in. He is going to college, but he is finding it difficult to fit in. OTOH, he hasn't expressed that he feels a lack of social outlets. Their biggest problem was that, because he is so high functioning, it took a long time to have him properly diagnosed. Fortunately, my sis and B-I-L are very involved in his life and are finding new programs that can help him deal with his problems every day.Clear Ayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14463641770718104835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-34058833835429677312010-01-24T18:44:15.575-06:002010-01-24T18:44:15.575-06:00Bob, Cocoa is darling.
