Exciting News!

I am writing with exciting news today! I bet you can tell by my entry
one of the things I'm gonna say. Well... you're right. Chris is coming
home today! I am so happy that I will have a little time to spend with
him before I go to Sedona tomorrow. But you'll never get the next one,
so I'll have to tell you.
Guess what I did today? I went to Fry's by myself. That's right. you
heard it straight from the horse's mouth. Me and Rusty took a trip.
Nikka took us there.
When I got there, I asked for the customer service desk. I had made
the correct turn and was closer than I thought. They were very kind
about getting someone to help, and my wait was very short.
When the guy came, I directed him in the best way to lead us. He got a
cart. Rusty and I walked behind it. He pulled it. It was peachy.
My first stop was the bank. You should've seen the teller. He was too
surprised to see me come alone. He even asked where my family was. I
wasn't angry, because that's who I normally come with. But boy, did my
loan trip do loads for the stereotypes of blind people and my
independence too.
I notified him that they were all preoccupied with their business. I
still had needs to take care of. That's why I was there. He was quite
kind; you could tell that his eyes were being enlightened. I got my
money and went next to the deli.
There at the deli, I wanted a baked chicken for Chris when he finally
gets home. He selected the chicken. I asked the lady if they had any
eggplant wraps today. She said yes, so I bought one. I paid right
there at the deli and the helper guy got us to the door.
Rusty and I proptly walked out. He crossed the street in the exact
plce. We turned left and then right at the gate. I praised him
profusely. My, what a great guide he is. I t3en kept telling him that
we needed to get home. We proceeded on our regular walk home,as I
listened for all the audible clues. The water fall. The mailboxes. We
crossed the street and I waited to feel the metal plates.
We turned left and walked toward Mommy's house. We stopped for him to
do his business. I picked up my wares, and we marched right on home.
For his good work, he got lots of hugs and two biscuits.
Yeah! We did it! What a boost to my day!
