...and I helped!

Debbie's changing from teaching 5th grade language arts at West Fannin (now Elementary, but formerly the High School for this end of the county...where I graduated in 1970) to teaching 6th grade reading at Fannin Middle next fall.
This means packing up all her personal stuff from her large room and moving it--not to her new room, where they will put any and all items from the room out in the hall over the summer while they wax the floors--but to our LIVING ROOM. I hope to get the storage building fixed in the next few days...I know now what will go into storage first!
I've been lifting boxes of 'light' reading books and other stuff today, so I'm sore. Tomorrow the copy machine, shelves, desk, chair, other chair, file cabinet. old desk, oak runners from the old desk, etc. etc. etc. And also I have to pick up our new refrigerator and get it installed, plus meet with some folks coming from Mississippi about a mission trip this summer.
Just how did my life get so complicated?
And in a strange coincidence, the lady whose room Debbie will move to this fall is one of my former youth from FBC Ellijay 35 years ago. And she married a guy I went to High School and couple of years of college with!

Busy Week/35th anniversary

Last week Matthew finally got graduated from college, I got the roof decking and felt paper on the roof of my building (YAY!) with the help of Kevin and Jan O'Quinn, we had the annual meeting of the Fannin County Historical Foundation (on the excursion train, no less!) and also did all the usual stuff of work, Debbie's school, etc. I'm looking forward to our trip Wednesday night to see the Braves and spend Thursday hanging around Atlanta celebrating our 35th anniversary.
