Today, I was walking in Huishui and there were actual obstacles in the path way. Okay. That might not sound very interesting to you. I am telling you about it and describing. There was a motorbike in the way. So, you know what I did? I stopped and examined the space. Well, I said (in my head I was thinking) “Hmmm, that’s interesting.” On the right side of the motor bike was a small patch of fake grass or real grass. It probably had a plant in it. While I was deciding on what it was and everything, My dad said to me, “you can go. It is just a motorbike.” Okay, thhen I went on his word. Another time on the same track, there was a fire hydrant. Of course, my dad told me it was a fire hydrant. I went around it on the right, also. Then, my dad commented on what he thought he would have done. He said, “Ahbee, come here and look.” I did and he told me, “If I were going, I would have gone to the left.” There is more track space here.” I guess that could make since. He could choose that side. I could of gone on the left if I’d chosen to. I didn’t this time. Sometime when we were walking around, My dad warned me of a cart thing. It was in the way of the sidewalk. It had a handle hanging around and it stuck out. He showed me where it was. My! I wouldn’t want to run myself into that. That surely might hurt a little. I told him, “Maybe that is where the guide dog would come, in.” Whoa! That was close. I am glad my dad told me about that thing. It was between my chest and waist height.

A different time today, we were going to cross the street. It was a small and  not so busy street. My dad wanted me to determine when to go. So, I stood there listening. I heard cars passing in front of me. Finally, there was a break. I heard a vehicle stop and sit there. I must have been a little timid. My dad said, “You can go.” I didn’t know if the vehicle was going to go or not. My dad informed me, “If there is a vehicle that just sits there, it is probably okay to go.” I went across. I was relieved.

 

Well, how’s that for you? Is that enough excitement for now? Okay I will let it go for now.
