What A Week

Hello all. I think there are about two people who read this blog: my mother and my friend Frances--so, when I say "hello all" I mean hi mom and Frances! Anyway, this past week was very active. The library had 13 classes scheduled and I taught 11 of those. Four of them involved me visiting the classroom and trying to help the students realize the wonders of the library (the knowledge found within the building and within the online sources). I think a few students are going to use our sources for their various research and presentation assignments. Yeah me!!

On Saturday I drove to Hotlanta to visit my friend and her hubby. She and I ran a 5K race. I did better than I hoped. I finished in 28:28--five minutes less than my best time. The weather was really nice. It looked like it was going to rain but all that happened was a nice and constant breeze. We celebrated with great food and company at the tavern across the street from our finish line. I'd run one again.

On Monday the library was closed. A friend and I went to a creek and waded around in sand and water and muck. It was really quiet and cool and I only sort of fell in once. I got to try out my new boots (picture to follow). So, we're walking along seeing what we can see and my friend finds not one but two arrowheads!! Genuine artifacts people. It was pretty cool. I didn't find anything. My Eagle Eye Master companion advised me that it can take years before you can spot something just from looking as you walk. Here's a picture of the second arrowhead:

Pretty cool isn't it? I thought so. Each arrowhead was spotted in the middle of a bunch of rocks. We may try to find more on another day. We stopped after finding the second one--don't want to get greedy. Anyway, this weekend is Alumni weekend at work so maybe I will have more interesting tales to tell after Saturday.
