Hello my dear FF&SS reader family,

I have an announcement to make, but first, I have a story about my first taste of winter to share.

A Taste of Winter

Once, when I was a young girl, in a world where snow in winter was a rare event at best, I tasted winter for the first time in my life. That particular week, my parents picked me up from the Georgia Academy for the Blind on a Wednesday afternoon. They wanted to take me home before the snow and ice caused the roads to become impassible.

The next afternoon, I sat in the living room near the wood heater, having a tea party with my bean bag doll. The TV was on, and Mama cleaned the kitchen and took out some food for supper. As I laid out the plates on the coffee table for my special tea party, Grandaddy walked in the house. “Look what I’ve got!” he said.

“What is it, Grandaddy?” I asked. I laid the plate I was holding on the coffee table and reached up to “see” what he had.
