Sunday pm

Lovely sunset from the Beck sidewalk at 7H last evening. 

Earlier in the afternoon, a visit to Kristen's 4th grade classroom hurriedly being prepared for class this morning. The room had to have a new floor, which delayed its availability to her for deco and prep before the weekend.

After that, a shot of Harbour Village west facing side, enveloped in scaffolding, from the StAndrewsMarina, which is our parking lot these days, with a healthy, depending on how far out we have to park, yesterday it was .4+ mile walk each way from the car to 7H, with a thank God for the elevators that take us from G to 7.

After church we stopped to walk through the Bill Lloyd Building of Cove School HNES. Much work to be done before the students arrive this time next week, toilet not set in a Boys' restroom

but what doesn't get done by then, no problem because Life Is Good, and the building is and looks better than the first day it opened for school, fall semester 1937. 

We visited every room, every nook and cranny. Though I did not get a shot of the janitor's closet with its ladder that goes up to the attic, when we got to MathIsFunAndGood classroom, surprise, beloved teacher was there, and I got a good shot with three hero women!

A few minutes later, in the south end classroom with the stage, that in our 1940s was a double room auditorium with a folding door, all now permanently closed, a shot of me standing by a small white table that, 

in my years as chaplain and religion & ethics teacher at HNES, I brought from home and had in my office, marked, by my own hand, "property of Tom Weller," so in some future age will go for auction at an astronomical price. 

I was meaning, in Amy's classroom - - which schoolyear 1948-49 was our 8th grade classroom with Miss Virginia Parker; and the plaque commemorating our love of her is back up beside the classroom door - - to write my usual Kilroy Was Here as a surprise, but Amy was there and said I should draw it anyway. Forgot to get a picture of it, though got a shot out the window of Mr Vallas' classroom, looking west and south toward the pavilion. 

The school building and HNES are beyond perfection for all Time.
