Vestry Graduate

Image
I am no longer part of the Vestry at Christ Church Norcross. I served my full term as the Buidings and Grounds liaison. It was three years. There was 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.

My Brother James passed away at 61 years old. He was definitely the Socrates in my life. He never wrote, but was the most literate person I knew. https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/hartfordcourant/obituary.aspx?n=james-v-dowdell&pid=196694815

Things are going good. I am moving my projects along, slow but sure. Summer has finally hit In Georgia. I almost gave myself heat stroke today in the attic chasing "remuddled" wiring. The pandemic has taken some toll. We miss traveling and plan on starting that up this fall. A few pics from around the house.
