Huntington Ridge ESL books & Azalea Labels

Tim A. Cummins @ 11:06 pm  

Today Jesse and I hauled the big boxes of English as Second Language books to my partners Eduardo & Sheila Zamora at Huntington Ridge.

My good friends at Perimeter Church gave me some terrific material.  The Zamoras were SO happy!  We also took them a bunch of chairs for the mission.  The complex is giving us another apartment to work out of for the adult classes.  Awesome!

Ian and Ruthie North met us over at H. Ridge.  I continue to build links between partners.  Glad that’s working out!

We went over to Best Buy to look for some equipment we needed.  Needed another charger and battery. I also treated Ian and Jesse to yogurt!

Dropped off Ian at Huntington Creek and picked up my small PA system that my partner at Adelaide Park needs for this weekend.

We saw a large military plane fly at very high altitude this afternoon. Left the weirdest con trails, very, very thin.

Then J and I went to Azalea to check on the kids and have them help us with the labeling of the newsletters.

They always enjoy that. Especially, because I treat them with boxes of doughnuts afterwards.  The kids like all the cool stamps and stickers and like being part of the team too!

I took Jesse over to Willow Branch to teach his guitar class.  I was exhausted and crashed out in the car, then worked on email on my iPhone.

Came home and anticipated mowing the lawn.  I got it started and immediately conked out.  I don’t have much luck with lawnmowers.  I’m lucky to get three years of use out of one.  Of course I buy the really cheap ones, so I probably get what I pay for.

Looks like my car won’t be fixed for a couple of days.  So it’ll sit at my mechanic’s place while Ashley and I are gone to Texas.

We got the newsletter printed up.  I put all the letters in together this evening.  Jesse and Kathy will mail them next week.  I have a system as to when the letters to out.  Not too early, not too late. . . . .just right!  About three days before the end of the month generally.  Groovy!

And now, Stoooory Tim!  One of the weirdest traditions in Madagascar:  Famadiana–speaking to the dead!

You may remember several months ago when the NAMB video team came to do a story on the multi-generational Cummins family!

The board posted the video on their website and on YouTube.  Here’s the story for your viewing pleasure!
