2019 Mar 16, 🚎Miracle Ride: Helen Keller in Living History Tuscumbia, Alabama

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, "Miracle Ride: Helen Keller in Living History", was awesome.


After the tour, I enjoyed soup, a lunch sandwich, and a slice of mile-high cheesecake.

Cream cheese pure vanilla, butter baked on a pecan & graham cracker crust! to die for!
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.

The Christmas TreeπŸŽ„πŸŽ…πŸ»πŸŽ„πŸŽ…πŸ»

Snowing is falling all around
Silently it hits the ground.

All the trees are
Heavy with snow

Christmas is coming
So, up the hill, we must go.

In the distance, I spy my tree
While others are sayings, please pick me.

The tree makes an Echo sound,
As it falls to the ground.

Carefully wrapped in rope
As I pull it down the slope.

Atop my car, it does ride
Until I can put it safely inside.

Not too, close to the fireplace it
will reside.

Santa will be surprised
And will scream with delight

As down the chimney, he comes
No longer, cover in white.

The tree how it will sparkle and shine
As Santa leaves all those
πŸŽ„πŸŽ…πŸ»πŸŽ„πŸŽ…πŸ»
Presents of mine.

Santa climbs into his sleigh
As he disappears into the night

I heard him exclaim
Merry Christmas
To all
Your Christmas Tree

Was out of sight!!!!!
