Behold a rare sight; a non crowded Wrightsville Beach during the summer time. Of course, it was before 9 in the morning.

It's guest photographer day! Donald had his once-a-year lunch with his high school buddies today. They had the waitress take their picture, and I wanted to share it with you. Left to right: Tony, Donald, Todd and Randy. Sometimes it works out so I can go too. It's always good for a laugh to hear about their teenage shenanigans.

One of the perks of coming to Wilmington is the access to fresh seafood. The man who lives two doors down is a shrimper and sells the shrimp out of his backyard. We got 20 pounds of shrimp that were swimming this morning. We're going to love this taste of summer when the weather is cold.

As hard as this is to believe, I actually took a day off work today. That's an unusual occurance in my life. But, we've been working so hard lately, and I've been so tired that I thought it would be nice. So, Donald and I took the opportunity to come to Wilmington a day early. Here's the view we had at dinner. So nice.

Back during the depression, my grandfather would go out on trash day, just ahead of the garbage trucks. He would take things that people had thrown out, bring them home, and fix them up to sell. He was quite good at it, and he was able to make a little extra money. When I watch the TV show "American Pickers" I think that must be what he was, a picker. He had a barn in his back yard that was full of all the junk he collected. I don't know if it's genetic, but I always notice things on the side of road that people throw out. Donald has gotten used to this, and is even picking up the habit. When I got home today, here is Donald's latest find, a pair of Cypress Gardens skis, picked out of someone's trash.

Yesterday Donald came to work with me and helped set up computers in the new school. Unfortunately, he lost his pocket knife while he was there. On a hunch, I went by first thing and actually found his knife! It was in the trash.

Sorry for such a terrible photo today, but let me explain. We're opening a new school in our county, and today the technology department worked as a team setting up computers. I completely abused my feet today. Not only do my piggies need a pedicure, my poor feet are a little swollen from all the walking I did. All that aside, we got a lot accomplished, and we get to do it all again once the network is connected.
