Today we have finished prepping the space in the main part of the house for use as a staging area for packing. We also went to lunch with my mom’s cousin from Portland. I last saw her in 2009; so it was good to see her again! Believe it or not, I feel like I came all the way across the country just to have good Chinese food! My favorite Chinese food place in Anderson closed in 2009; so this is a rare treat for me now. It isn’t that we no longer have Chinese food places; but the one I liked was within walking distance of where I lived, and now I must pay a hefty bit to get a ride or else find someone who likes Chinese to go with me. It does not happen often.
Back at home, we said goodbye to Doni and her daughter, Sydney. Of course, 15 minutes after they left, we realized that we forgot to ask for one bit of help. Kevin needed pictures taken of two pieces of furniture. And so commenced the most fun we have had in a long time: we started an attempt to learn to take pictures with his IPhone. I will leave this post on a great cliffhanger as you all contemplate the question of whether two blind people might be able to accomplish this. Stand by for the results–and perhaps the explanation of how we did it.
