Vestry Graduate

Image
I am no longer part of the Vestry at Christ Church Norcross. I served my full term as the Buildings and Grounds liaison. It was three years. There were a lot of items to deal with over the years. But the effort wasn't the work. It was the responsibility and knowing that I wasn't doing enough. I think most people get that feeling with obligations. Maybe not. I am sure the time and responsibility will be quickly reallocated. When I signed on I figured I would learn something. Now I am thinking about what I learned along with the hows and whys. I think my Grandfather would have approved. He is mentioned on page 12 in the folowing time capsule. https://digitalarchives.episcopalarchives.org/the_witness/pdf/1941_Watermarked/Witness_19410515.pdf His noteworthy translation: Kant

It has been a tough week. When I started discussing what a tough week it was with my favorite cat Tioga, he was sympathetic. He was purring and comforting. All in all his week was tougher than mine. We let the vet get the mass that was growing under his skin. He had to spend a night away from his home. They also took out the huge tooth he had.. they cause problems since the root is as large as the tooth. This is a tough cat and even "the toughy" was somewhat distracted by all the procedures. Everyone will be ok. He has tough battle ahead though since he can't go outside until the stitches come out in 12 days. He will have to relax and settle for the window for a bit.

It was a good weekend. The weather was great. I crossed almost everything on my farmlist off the list. We ordered fence. That will be here soon. It was just a nice weekend enjoying the farm. I skidded up (8) cherry logs, each 14 foot long. They will be sold this week. The trees fell over a while back. Turning them into money is better that letting them rot. Click pic for video
