More Updates
I omitted a lot from the last blog. In late July, the day after Katelyn's arrival, I went to Fripp Island for a couple of days and nights as Shannon, Tim, Tucker, Austin and Chelsey were there. First time for me to visit Fripp, and we had a great time, until the electric golf cart left us stranded more than a mile from the condo.
Two weeks ago I went to Sunset Beach for the evening to have dinner with cousins Andrea and Fitz and his wife Fugi, my aunt Marjorie, and Fugi's mom, Yuri. As usual they put on a super supper from their inlet overlook dining room. It was a great catching-up-on-family-news and old home week visit. As much as I wanted to visit longer, it was almost two hours back to Florence, so I had to head inland.
Mike called last evening to talk more about our plans for a motorcycle trip in late October. We are both excited about two or three days on the road.
Stevenson cousins Lee, Ruthie and her hubby Bo, and Wes Jr. showed up at different times over the last weekend at the Lebanon house, so their help was welcomed and appreciated. Lee cut grass and helped me move some heavy furniture. Mom painted some more. And I steam cleaned the back porch carpet. Got two gallons of really dirty water and sand up from the carpet.
Weatherman called for rain today, and we got it here. Hope it rained at Lebanon and in Winnsboro. It has been abnormally dry there.
Am still planning to retire June 30, 2008. It will take a lot of money to change my mind at this point. That is the only plus I can come up with for not hanging it up next summer.
Last night both classes went out for pizza. Only about fifteen students showed up, but we ate a lot of pizza, and they seemed to have enjoyed the fellowship and being off campus. Today I had another Wednesday meeting in Marion over lunch to work with County Library planning committee as we develop plans to create a foundation whose mission will be to raise four million dollars to renovate and expand the Marion headquarters library. We would also like to renovate and expand the Mullins and Nichols branches, if we can raise an additional two million. The county library was built in 1905 and added on to in 1975, although there were some modifications in the 1930s after a disastrous fire destroyed part of the original Carnegie building. The present facility is grossly undersized for the population we serve, the usage we receive, and the technology we have introduced.
I've got at least four sets of papers, quizzes, and exercises to grade tonight, plus a short Moliere play on campus, so there goes another evening......
If an idle mind is the devil's workshop, I should be safe for a long time to come.......
