Weekly Update 3/3/2024

Well, this is pretty exciting news, for me anyway. I got a job! I saw a posting on the CMA website for a volunteer position at the Coastal Heritage Museum, which is the History Museum on MLK. I sent a reply, and they asked for an application and resume. I had an online interview with the local representative and a the leader who is at the headquarters in Florida and only gets to Savannah about four times a year. I needed to pass a back ground check, and sign about 87 documents to verify that I have read the manual and will comply to confidentially requirements and that I don’t molest children. I will be starting in mid-March. I think that because it’s unpaid, I was probably the only applicant they had, but I’m still excited about having the opportunity to learn something new.

Tuesday, Buffalo Wild Wings had a promotion where they gave away free wings because the Super Bowl went into overtime. FREE! Count me in. So I went and got my six free wings. They were ok, but I still think Coach’s have the best wings in Savannah,

Suzy Hokanson was in Savannah for a few days this past week. She was a neighbor when I lived in the condos, but I’ve since moved to the apartment, and she and her husband have moved back to New York State to be closer to family. She was at the happy hour “meeting” that I sometimes go to with other friends on Wednesday. It was good to see her. And, naturally, I shared many photos of Adrian and Annie.

The next day, I went to lecture at 6 East State St. I knew little about what the presentation was, but I understood that it was the music director at Ascension Lutheran Church, talking about Negro Spirituals. When I walked in, hymnals were places around the room, and I feared I would need to join in singing, which just wasn’t going to happen. And, to my surprise, two friends from the happy hour meeting showed up, so I had someone to sit with. The talk was wonderful, and I didn’t have to embarrass me or my friends by singing. Imagine my surprise when I was searching to upcoming lecture and found photos on photos on FB. Here’s me, Helen and Janet, at the meeting.

Kay’s birthday was Saturday. I met her and her soon-to-be daughter-in-law for dinner at the good Mexican restaurant that we all like on Saturday evening. Happy Birthday to one of my Besties!

Adrian and Annie are still the light of my life.  Sarah has shared photos this week of visiting playgrounds, the Y, and the zoo.  I don’t know how she finds the stamina to do so much with the kids when she’s battling morning sickness.  My hat is off to her!
