Practicing What You Preach
Well, I can hardly fuss at my students for not keeping their blogs current when I am setting such a poor example. It has been almost two weeks since my last post. Much has happened.
Today was pizza day for the class. Rainy weather caused us to eat on the porch of the nursing building rather than on the lawn as planned. Twelve showed up, so there was ample pizza and sodas. The only class meeting remaining is today week, and it is the advising session. I have enjoyed this class of pre-nursing students, and they were kind in their evaluation comments.
Last Friday was the "Class of '62" luncheon at our farm. There were thirteen of us present, and the group appreciated the food Mom, Jeannie (my sister) and I had fixed----Hawaiian chicken salad, congealed salad, deviled eggs, marinated vegetables, hot rolls, ham for the rolls, and a pickle tray. On the back porch was a table with Mom's lemon meringue pie, pineapple pie, and strawberry cake. Hopefully no one left hungry. The group tried to get together twice a year for lunch and catch up on each other's lives.
I spent last Thursday mowing yard at the farm house (Lebanon community) and Saturday mowing the hay field nearer town. Drove Mom and two other ladies to their Saturday afternoon Woodbine Garden Club meeting at a nursery in Monticello (western Fairfield County). The only other times I have ever attended a garden or book club was when I was the speaker! Interesting...... Learned a lot about "composting."
Kevin (son) and I continue to work on the old Merita bread truck I acquired several weeks ago. He is replacing much of its wiring, lighting, etc. I paid taxes on the truck yesterday---all $17---and picked up SC tags, so now am legal, at least in terms of the truck! It still needs new muffler and tail pipe, rearview mirrors, oil and filter change, clutch adjustment, engine cleaning, brake work and clearance lights replacements. Then a paint job! And interior shelving for tools, etc. Great project truck.
Am feeling a bit puny after last week's flu shot. Thought my cold was over but appears to be hanging on. Anybody out there want a free cold?
Stay healthy and be good. Until next time-----------pd
