Day 1390: Quest DVDs

Delightful day!  We spent a couple hours at school during the lunch periods to distribute the Quest DVDs to students.  Of course, there was plenty of time to visit with friends and kids.  When we got home, we took off for a 4.5 mile walk through the campus, along Central Ave, then Newton and the cemetery, down Forest Place and home.  The trees were spectacularly colorful although the sky was cloudy and gray.   The stately trees of Forest Hill are especially serene.  At 66 degrees, it felt warm enough to swim and it reminded me how much I miss popping into the pool every afternoon.

I spent about another three hours today working on reviewing my manuscript.  My focus today was on chapters on enrollment, student leaders and organizing personnel.  I'm a bit surprised how much time the process takes, even though I'm not making many changes.

At 5:00, we took off to deliver DVDs to the adults and graduate student leaders.  At Josh's house, (the SC adviser) we found out that Sebastian has moved to South Carolina.  I hope they can get the video to him. Next stop, Jake's house.  His mom was delighted because they are going to see him on Friday for Parent's weekend.  No one was home at Kathy's but I left three copies on her freezer.  We were happy to find Chris home and he stood and visited with us for twenty minutes.

Just down the street, Mark and his wife have put a huge addition on their home and Elaine proudly invited us in for a tour. She was so excited to share their renovations with us.  They've built a new master bedroom, walk-in closet, master bath, laundry room, expanded the kitchen and living room and added a beautiful screened in porch.  On the way back into town, we stopped at what we thought was Jill's parent's house.  Wrong.  It was her grandparent's house, but it didn't matter.  They were delighted to meet me, welcomed me in and showed me pictures of Jilly in her dress uniform.  They are incredibly proud that Jill is a cadet at West Point.

Our last stop was at Michael's.  His three dogs barked like crazy even before I rang the door bell.  Questy Dibble was jumping at door so I slipped the DVD into Mike's hand through a narrow crack in the door.  Success!

There's still seven more deliveries to make and I hope they are just as much fun!
