Helen Keller' Birthplace

I hope some day soon you will get the chance to come and see it. I never get tired of going there. If you ever do come this way please let me know so maybe we can arrange to meet somewhere and chat for a while. :)

That is so neat. I'm glad that you enjoy the picture. I'm so sorry that your grandson has these problems. But it is so wonderful to know that he has the help available so that he can accomplish anything that he wants to. :) One Sunday about a month ago our pastor was talking about Helen Keller in his sermon and I still get shivers when I think about it. He said that Annie Sullivan had made the statement that she didn't know how she was going to get Helen to understand about God. But one day as she was making the sign in her hand she started talking abou God to her and Helen signed back to her "So that is who I have been talking to!!" Thank you Lord that even those who have hearing and seeing problems can still know Him and be accepted by Him. I hope you have a blessed and wonderful day!! :) SheliaLee

okay thanks!

Hi Terry! It is a pretty big home and it still has the small house beside it where Annie Sullivan stayed with Helen when she first started working with her. I don't think anyone is living there now but I may be wrong. If I find out different I'll let you know. They have daily tours and there are some parts that visitors aren't allowed into so it is possible someone is living there. Another one of the ladies that responded to this asked me about tours so when I find out about those I'll try to find out if any family members live there too. :)

I love her story too. I have toured inside at least three times maybe more. I would like to go again some time. Every time I think about what all she went through and how she over came it I get chills. I'm glad you like the picture, I have just added the other ones to my profile a minute ago. :)

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I have posted the other two shots on my profile. If you ever ge to Tuscumbia be sure to go by there. :):)

That would be great thanks. :)

I'm glad you like it aprilgrl. If you ever get a chance to come to Tuscumbia please let me know when you are coming and I'll try to meet you somewhere, maybe we could have lunch together and chat and fellowship for a while, I would enjoy doing that. Hope you have a great day! :) SheliaLee

I'm so glad you like the Helen Keller picture. I am always moved when I go there to think about what she accomplished. The new avatar is a picture that was taken of me and my daughter Amanda in the church library this past Sunday night. Amanda's friend was in there with us and wanted to take the picture, Ha! Ha! I was just sitting there looking at a different Bible when they came in. They are both helping out in Vacation Bible School this week. Talk to you soon!! Shelia
