It seems a shame that we don’t write on the family blog any longer. I just started a Facebook entry on our family facebook and hit the wrong key and it all went away, never to be seen again. So, I’ll try to do it here.
I’m finally plugging into Athens. This is what I am gong to or have joined:
1. OLLI (Osha Lifelong Learning Institute) for those who are 50 or over. No credits, classes cost about $5 plus a parking ticket. I’m going to take a 6 week drawing class, a class on Caravaggio, a class on America’s Economic Future, and have joined special interests groups biking, hiking and supper club.
2. Slow Foods.
3. Usher at Performing Arts Center.
4. Usher at Classic Center.
5. Participate in RCIA program at church as a supporter. (Tuesday evenings).
6. Continue to play mah-jongg on Wednesdays.
7. Continue to exercise at Y.
8. Continue to pick up Fiona on Tuesdays and Thursdays for piano practice and/or lesson.
9. Started a neighborhood book club (Boulevard Book Club) and first meeting at my house on 9/19. There are 10 ladies who have said they are coming. We’ll see.
10. Continue as Eucharistic Minister and Lector at Church.
11. Continue Bible Study class on Thursdays.
12. Would like to advertise myself as a calligrapher since there are none in Athens.
13. Have become a mentor at Chase. Met with my mentee on Thursday. Her name is Yocelin and she is in the 5th grade. We had lunch together and she is very sweet.
So, I guess I’ll not be bored for a while.
Facebook took everyone away. And then the bad guy made us lock it up. The JulFam group is a good idea. Safe and easier to share photos. Maybe you should write in Word then do a copy paste?
I’ll give you some ideas about advertising when I see you, G!
