Hi, this is Terri Wilcox. Maybe this is silly to report this, but I feel good about it, so I want to tell other blind people in the NFB about it. Nick and I put up our artificial Christmas tree alone for the first time yesterday. We had always felt like we needed to wait for a sighted person to help us do it. I had read in a Kernel book about a group of blind people who did it independently, so I thought why not us. We accidentally put the middle section in the bottom, but then could not get the other sections to fit. When we really concentrated on which section had a piece that fit into another section, instead of trying to judge by size, we got the tree together. I had always done my own ornaments, but I had waited for help with putting the tree together. Now, we are just waiting for help with the lights. We will do two out of three parts independently. I still have no clue how two totally blind people can do the lights, but maybe some year we will
 hear how some blind people do that as well.
Terri and Nick
