Weekly Update 2/26/2017

This was a really slow week for me. I hardly got out at all.

 Thursday, I really wanted to go to the city walk that was to tell about Black education in Savannah. The walk would be followed by a lecture at the Massie School. I was a little disappointed in the walk, because it told less about African American education and more about architecture and overall history of the colony of Georgia. But it was a pleasant evening, and I did learn a few new things. The lecture was hard for me hear, so I also didn't get a lot from that.

Because many neighbors are remodeling their condos, updating kitchens, replacing old wall to wall carpeting with hardwood floors, knocking out walls, I rather felt as if I was being left behind. But, not only do I not want to change much, I also do not want to spend a lot of money on this place. I had, however, been eyeing my bathroom and wishing for something a little different in there. I remembered the old houses I had in the powder room in Rochester, and I always liked those. So I found some wallpaper borders, a few little wooden outhouses, and I bought new towels, rugs and lid cover. My cousin Ellen has a sewing machine that can embroider I asked her if she could make some hand towels for me, and she did a wonderful job! Although it doesn't look that much different, but I'm pleased.
