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 very quiet weekend. I made a nice (real) worm-wood maple mirror frame today. It seems like I made more sawdust than anything else though, between that and the chainsaw work. There is always a lot more to do. Firewood has become a priority. It is so quiet here. I have to crank up the tunes sometimes just so there is something. I will be fitting up the solar system (gotta love that term, I mean the entire Solar System, part of the Milky Way ) soon. I figure I have at least 10 trips to town before it is functional. I did two trips this weekend, not bad. I get real fussy with the plumbing. It has to be right and straight, like soldiers one of my mentors used to say. The llamas love this weather. They are in their groove. Just touching freezing at night and in the 50s in the day with a dry breeze. They love it.
