Weekly Update 4/20/2019

HAPPY EASTER!!!

The more I don’t do, the easier it is not to do anything. And I didn’t do much again this week.

I did attend two lectures: one on Conrad Aiken (I know very little about him and I have to talk about him on every tour I give at BC, so I need to get myself better informed; this lecture didn’t help a lot) and one on marine archaeology (which, in spite of the topic, was very interesting).

On Saturday, I went to Daffin Park for the Earth Day event. Several organizations set up tables and booths to promote their particular project, and since I’m a fan of Save The Earth, I liked it all. There were several teenage girls dressed in gowns and clothing made from paper, aluminum foil, pop can tops, bumper stickers, etc. - very creative and fun. I also saw Joe, who was the leader on Wassaw Island all those years ago when I went to Turtle Camp. I talked to him for a few minutes, and amazingly, he seemed to remember me! I even bought a canvas bag that I’m going to use to bag my groceries, perhaps to eliminate the plastic bags, and also save myself from having to purchase the shoddy Publix bags that last maybe a month.

Barbara invited friends over to her condo on Sunday to share a wonderful meal. There was way too much food, but I dug right in. I made quiche. I have been hungry for a quiche lately, so this was a great opportunity for me to indulge my craving. I also tried to make a key lime pound cake, but that was rather a disaster. I should stick to my Cadbury eggs!
