After hearing that the traffic in N. Georgia would be horrible, I started doing research about what other areas would be possible, in particular those near I85.

I came up with a few possibilities, in partiuclar Anderson SC.

Studied Portuguese.
Ashley and I went to First Redeemer Church in Cumming, GA this morning. We talked to three different Sunday School classes.
We also went to the worship service. I thought Pastor Jeff did a good job on talking about money.

The band was good, too.

They took up the offering before the sermon. I thought this was interesting.
Drove almost exactly 100 miles today. Yow! I was glad that Kathy watched Penelope at home. That’s a long way for a little girl to have to be strapped in!

Gassed up the car.

Love spending time with Ashley!

I normally study Portuguese first thing in the morning. Couldn’t do that today, since we had an extra early morning to get all the way out to Cumming by 9:15am.

Came home for a nap.

Later, went out to look for eclipse glasses. Must admit I was surprised that all the places were sold out. What!? Looked into other options, in particular optical projection.

I set up my binoculars and they worked well. I’ll probably try and get a pair of glasses too, once I’m in Anderson.

I had planned on going to Dillard, GA which said they were supplied with your $5/parking fee. So I hadn’t worried about getting any. BUt once Kathy told me how horrible the traffic will be I suddenly had to change my plans.
