The pump that moves the water in our cats’ waterbowl will not work. I unplugged it and took it apart, but I can not find anything the matter with it. I asked my sighted daughter to look at it this morning, but she couldn’t fix it, either. Sigh. Last summer I bought two laundry baskets.… Continue reading Blind Mama Blues and Something Brand New

Time for Something New
Summertime is the perfect time to try something new. Don’t you think? It has always been that way for me, whether intended or not. I rode a jetski for the first time during the summer of 1989. That was the same year I went out of state to a church camp for children who are… Continue reading Time for Something New

It’s soothing as I reach over and pet the cats, slide my fingers over the braille in my Bible, sip on a hot, cup of coffee, kiss my husband bye when he heads off to work. At this time 20… Continue reading A Thanksgiving Post
If the Blind Follow the Blind…
Remember that game you used to play when you were a kid called Follow the Leader? Well, a few years ago, I took my Sunday school class outside to play that game. Round and round the parking lot we went, hands on each others’ shoulders, as I had the kids to follow me. Follow me.… Continue reading If the Blind Follow the Blind…
