Operation Duck Retrieve

Felt pretty good and optimistic this morning. Cindy didn't go in to work, so no sunrise walk. Hence, I slept in til 7:30. Loverly. We put the air conditioner in my window yesterday, so it is very pleasant in my room.
DD had it’s first soon-to-be-annual Duck Retrieve today! We sent over 750 rubber duckies (armed with pistols and cowboy hats, no less) floating over Lake Mitchell and a fiesty black lab volunteered to dive in and rescue 3 of them for our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners. We raised around $2,000 for the museum! WHOOT WHOOT!
Ended my first week at DD with a Diet Coke and I'm hoping to catch a movie at the local Starlite drive-in tonight. Yup, it’s been a good week. Also got to work with Beth some more and get a few things entered into the PastPerfect program. Boy, have the computer skills I got working at EC admissions helped out with this. Got all the tables put away from the banquet last night, and the nice ladies that hosted it left us about 15 pieces of very delicious strawberry shortcake. I had 2 pieces before lunch. YUMMY!
I got some more pictures of the outdoor buildings around the museum, so I’m posting them, along with some fun ones from the Duck Retrieve. Besides the museum building, there is a one room school house, church, and the old Victorian Beckwith house, all of which were moved to their current location on the DD property. Enjoy the pictures everybody and have a great weekend!!!!
