My Birthday Surprise
By Barbara Blejewski

Last November, I celebrated another birthday; but, when I opened my present from my friend Janice, an onlooker would guess I was a child all over again. "Wow! Look at this." There's Braille on the handles of the measuring cups and measuring spoons. As with regular measuring spoons and measuring cups, which indicate the amount of each measuring cup or spoon in print, these measuring spoons and measuring cups depict the amounts with Braille so people who are blind have equal accessibility to these basic cooking tools.

The Braille Superstore has a variety of Braille devices ranging from house wares, to timepieces, to children's games and toys. You can contact the store at: http://www.braillebookstore.com or telephone them at 800 987-1231. The Braille Superstore is located in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada. Shop to your heart's content.
