It was in the 40s this morning cloudy, and windy so I grabbed my big coat, and winter boots and joined a group of locals and out-of-towners.
Everyone met at Coldwater Books and began boarding the trolley at 9:30AM
The trolley was taking a group on a “Miracle Ride: Helen Keller in Living History
Our guide told a fantastic story of Helen Keller, and her great-niece, Keller Johnson Thompson.
On the steps of Ivy Green, Mrs. Thompson told amazing stories of her great-aunt as we waited for a large group to finish their tour.
We toured the home and the many collections of Helen, her status, and the key she locked Annie Sullivan inside a closet.

Outside the Keller Museum, we could see Cherry Trees were in full bloom and the gardens aglow with spring colors.

Tuscumbia’s Bicentennial Commission, Trolley Tour, and "Miracle Ride: Helen Keller in Living History", were awesome.
After the tour, I enjoyed soup, a lunch sandwich, and a slice of mile-high cheesecake.

| An eating bowl full of Crawfish bisque 1/2 turkey with smoked cheddar melted cheese and a tall glass of iced tea |
I had a wonderful day, a bit cold but finished the day off with a hot bowl of Crawfish bisque.
