braille songbooks

This morning I helped make All God's Children Sing, braille songbooks that are shipped to a small town in California and then distributed worldwide. My job was to use the binder to put the ten page booklets together. There were six of us working like beavers all morning and we were able to produce 57 books. One of our volunteers was a "preacher's kid" and she told a story about the parishioners helping out the preacher and his family, especially in the summer time with vegetables from their gardens. One day an older lady appeared at their door with a basket full of beans that had obviously been on the vine too long. "A little tough," she said, "But they're good enough for you."
