Another photo from 'Round the House! I have probably shared this before, and I apologize if I have. I have always loved face jugs. Donald and I went to the state fair a few years ago, and this is the only size I could afford. Maybe one day I can get a bigger one or one that is an antique. That would be great.

We're building a new tower at work to increase the speed and reliability of our network. They started digging this hole on Tuesday, and the first bucket of dirt they pulled up also cut the main internet feed into our entire district. We were completely down the majority of the afternoon. Yesterday they poured the foundation, today the concrete had set and they're going to fill in the hole soon.

This is one of the classroom pets in one of my media centers. It's hard to tell from this picture, but his back legs are paralyzed. The media specialist found him in her pond and brought him in to school to increase his chances of surviving. I call him Mr. Turtle.

As hard as this is to believe, I had a little extra time on my way in to work this morning. That used to happen all the time, but now only happens once in a while. As a matter of fact, most days it's hard for me to be on time at all. Anyway, there's this park just down the street from one of my schools, and I've been wanting to go and check it out, so I took the opportunity this morning. As near as I can tell, it used to be an old farm and they have preserved some of the buildings. There are beautiful walking trails, and maybe one day during lunch I can go and enjoy it some more. The building on the left was the old mule barn, the far right building is an old tobacco barn, the short building in the middle was the chicken coop, and the building just behind that was the home. Kind of a neat thing to do early in the morning.

Another photo from 'Round the House today. I saw this pelican in a store at Holden Beach and fell in love with it. I didn't buy it because I didn't want to spend the money. My sister in law Linda surprised me with it!

Guess who we got to see today? I wish we could see him every day, but I'm happy to see him on the weekends.

Today we surprised my uncle with a birthday party! He'll be 81 on Monday. Since I don't get to see him very often, the party was a bit bittersweet for me. He is getting quite feeble, and is just about skin and bones. But, it's always good to see him, and he loves to talk.
