The Kindness of Strangers is On Full Display
(July 9)
Dear Folks,
Here we are at the Microtel in Elkhart, IN. It is a modest place, but very wheelchair friendly.
Today we were in NY, OH, and IN.
We stopped at a Service plaza in IN for a break. We walked around outside, then went in to use the restroom. We heard a woman behind us calling, “Sir. Sir!” She came around to the front of us. We realized that she was taking to us. From the back, she thought I was a guy. She saw the dogs and probably thought I was blind and had gone in the wrong spot. We asked if they had a family restroom. She led us to it, but it was being cleaned. That lady left her cleaning and let us use the bathroom. She waited and helped us out, before resuming her cleaning
We have stopped at three service areas so far. At every one, someone has helped us.
Hugs and wags.
The Lowman Family
