Cirrus! Downtown! Dali!

Tim A. Cummins @ 11:07 pm  

Had a fun day!
t
Went downtown to see the Dali exhibit at the High Museum in Atlanta!
d
Not sure if you enjoy his work but many of his paintings are on my favorites list.
h
On the way downtown, I was struck by the wispy Cirrus clouds. Fantastic formations.

Made it downtown just fine and really enjoyed walking around the city looking at the fantastic buildings and enjoying the cooler air.

The Dali exhibit was incredible.
d

My all time favorite is his “melting clocks” picture which is called the Persistence of Memory. I saw that earlier this year in the Museum of Modern Art in NYC.
p
But his St. John on the Cross was there as well as many of his sketches.
d
I went to the exhibit with brother in law Bill Doverspike and his girlfriend Deborah. It was fun hanging out with them too!
b
On the way home, I stopped at Best Buy to purchase a flash drive for a computer project that Jesse is working on. 8 Gigabytes for $19! That’s amazing.
u

I remember a time years ago when I thought, “A gigabyte! I couldn’t use that up in my whole life!” HA! I have over a Terabyte of video on one expansion hard drive that I’ve shot!

Back home now, finishing up my admin work. Looking forward to a relaxing evening. Awesome day!

Admin! Hummingbirds!

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:28 pm  

This morning I worked on admin duties. Always plenty of email!
e
Also went for a 4 mile run. Not too hot!

Had a good lunch with Jesse. Never too much J!

This afternoon I worked on my hummingbird feeders. I enjoy watching the birds. They bring me joy!

About once a month I have to bleach them out because they start getting moldy.
h

This one is my favorite. I watch the birds fly in while I’m in bed.
f
I hang them from wires between trees. I had to rehang one of the wires today.
b
Also worked on scrubbing the carpet. Silly pee dog.
ss
c

I also enjoy my Venus Fly Traps.

Podcast! Computer!

Tim A. Cummins @ 7:13 pm  

This morning I worked on a new podcast: Just ASK!

t
One of my best.

Had lunch with Kathy, J and Ashley. Excellent!

Went to a partner of ours Kathy Chang to pick up a computer for the mission. We sure do appreciate that!
k
The kids didn’t have any school tomorrow so we didn’t have the after school program.

Over to FBC Doraville to pick up bills, check on the office and go through the gear we have to see if we could come up with a set of computer speakers for H. Terraces. I’ve found several. Just can’t find the power supplies. I’ll keep looking!

Went over to Best Buy. Kathy’s camera has stopped functioning so Ashley gave her hers and I’ll get her another one. Unfortunately, the camera color she wanted (pink, duh) is only available on line. I’ll have to order it for her.

Picked up the groceries and tried to deposit checks. Stupid ATM wouldn’t accept the checks at this time. Tomorrow!

Came home to put up groceries and work on admin duties!

I thought this was odd. Do you really need a plaque to remind your employees to wash their hands?
p
Kind of an odd bumper sticker.
b
I’m still not sure why they make the icons of people with no necks.
b
Even babies have no necks.

So why do handicapped people have necks?
h

Fat lot of good that wiper is doing, eh?
w
Can you tell what my shirt says?

Financial Report! Computers! Azalea!

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:39 pm  

This morning I finished up my financial report and delivered it to my treasurer.
t
f
Then went out for a 4 mile run. Felt great!

Had lunch with Kathy, Ashley and Miles and Jesse.
a
m
Then over to Huntington Terraces to help Bayo with the computers. Got everything pretty much up and running!
c
To the church to check mail. No bills. Amen!

LOTS of kids at Azalea needing help. I was glad that Ms. Linda was there to help us too!
l
j
d
m

I let the kids play games AFTER they’ve finished their work!
g

J and I went with Shimanto to help him buy the things he needs to make his model of a cell. Cheesecake, frosting and about ten different kinds of candy each representing a structure in the cell. Then the kids are supposed to eat the edible cells!

Came home to work on admin duties.

The kids at the mission have Friday and Monday off. I’m glad they have a break!

This morning Kathy was holding Sugar. I thought they were cute!
