What Real Baptists Should Look Like...

I LOVE www.yearbookyourself.com... Brother Preacher Pastor J.D. Miller and Mrs. S. D. Miller, piemaker extraordinare, from the glory days when the balcony was full!

fall again

Time again for chilly nights and warm wool. Although it looks like we're in for a week of Indian summer.

I bought my first skein of pricey yarn today. It's a silk and merino wool mix. It's soft and lovely, will make a nice Christmas gift, and I only bought 1 SKEIN. That should be plenty for a neckwarmer. I still need to buy the bulk of my stuff at Hobby Lobby if I don't want to go bankrupt.

I had a the nice surprise of receiving an unexpected check in the mail yesterday, just in time for missions month. Last year I got a nice fat check from my oboe selling just in time for missions month. I love it. God rules.

I'm at the reference desk tonight. Ellie and Justin came in to surprise me for a mini take-your-child-to-work hour. :-) I was so happy to see them. I hate working night shifts - I only get to see Ellie for an hour or so in the morning, as she's sleeping by the time I get home. She sat at the desk with me for a few minutes and "answered" a reference question.

Obama rally

Wow, there is a huge line stretching way past the library to who knows where. Obama is scheduled to speak this afternoon at 2:30 and it's like someone declared a campus holiday. It reminds me of 1992, my freshman year, when Ol' Bubbacakes Clinton (as I fondly refer to him) came, except that the crowd wasn't nearly like this. Also, I was behind him in the bleachers in an MSU sweatshirt. (Yes, that was me. You may laugh now.) Everyone seems genuinely excited, not just to be missing class, but actually to see Obama.
