Finally! Odds and Ends

What do you think I got in the mail today? A new Bible! RC Sproule offered a Study Bible for any amount at all, a Reformation Day special, so I took him up on it...Dad is cautioning me not to vandalize it the way I did my old one, but I can't imagine not writing in it...Perhaps I will just use it at church and continue to read my old one for day to day study...I can't think without a pen in my hand! We will see!

I also made the discovery today that there is a beautiful park, with a swimming pond and walking trails, exactly two minutes away from our home! Dad and I had a lovely half-hour roaming there this afternoon...Found it as is where the voting will take place tomorrow...So sorry we didn't find it sooner!

We went to Grace and Justin's church yesterday and really enjoyed it...Returned for the evening service and raided the library - old books from a school library which they want to get rid of - many from the forties, fifties. I brought a few home to read to Jeannette's kids, and eventually, my grandchildren. I was amazed to see how many of them Mom had for us as children. We were bathed in the best children's books form infancy!

Dad, Andrew and I met up with Alicia for awhile yesterday afternoon - walked around in downtown Chattanooga, sat and watched children play in the fountain, then visited the art gallery - free the first Sunday of each month! As we walked out, there was an a capella black group singing by the bridge - buskers, I guess...Love any Gospel/spiritual music, so listened to them for awhile... A pleasant Sunday, with church as bookend on either side of the day!

Dad and I enjoyed our trip to Tuskegee last week...Was amazed at the size of the campus - 2300 acres plus, originally much used for agriculture....Ideal to be as self-sufficient as possible, and largely succeeded! Reread Booker T Washington's book, Up From Slavery, which I bought at the museum there...Great, farsighted man!

And so end my few little odds and ends - will try to get back into the swing of blogging after such a long time away!
