Vestry Graduate

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

We are back from NY again. The drive in the new truck was a lot better than the old truck. Using a combination of Google Maps and Waze we did a good job of navigating the crashes and slow downs, making the decisions to take alternate routes or through the a slowdown. The telemetry on my phone says the trip was a total of 2437 miles. Albeit it took 3 weeks, since we drove up, flew back and then flew up and drove back, again. Every time I make it up to the farm I am always humbled by the property. It takes most of a full-day just to walk the property. Much to do. In Duluth, the normal heat and the extra moisture has yielded growth. Our fig tree in the front yard has good fruit and is just about perfect.
