Feeling With Your Fingers

I went to Ancient House this morning to help out with another event. This was the third day of programs about blindness and mobility. There were several things going on today including learning about guide dogs, typing in braille, and feeling with your fingers.

I was in the kitchen with a bowl and a box of cereal. I encouraged people to close their eyes, then pour the cereal into the bowl without looking. Throughout the day many people of all ages came in to give it a try.

I went to a talk on stuff that blind people use in their daily life (like a device that tells you what color your clothes are!), and typed my name in braille. (You might want to click on the picture to see it up close.)
















I got John to walk with me through the park yesterday so I could take a picture of the sailboat pond (and then I forgot to post the picture). It has looked like this all week. I usually see it in the morning when I'm running, but I think it looks kind of magical in the twilight.
