Goodbye Raleigh, hello home

Here I am working on my surprise for Bea. Can you tell what it is?

I stayed in yesterday morning while the others went to church so I could continue with my project. It was nice, sitting at the table in the sun, listening to music. When they came back, Adam, Millie and I went to the Duke campus. Adam is a third year law student there and I wanted to see the campus. It's very impressive. I was fascinated browsing the books in the law library. I couldn't believe the amount of antique books, some dating from the early 1800's! I could have browsed the aisles for hours. Adam tells me that most research is done online, but there's still a need for the books. He's on the Duke Law Review and I was very proud to see his name in print in the journals.

The undergraduate part of the campus is Gothic in architecture. I think Adam said they copied Harvard. We walked through the cathedral. They must have been practicing for an event because we were able to hear the magnificent organ being played.

I thought this was pretty cool. Click on it to see it better. What a great way to conserve water! All bathrooms should have this feature.

I had an easy trip home today. It took less than 5 hours including stops. No traffic. No weather. I have a lot more to say, plus pics, but I'll save that for tomorrow. It was so nice to come home to a clean and neat house. The laundry is almost done. I'm just chillaxin, gearing up for a busy work week. And as I finished writing that sentence, I used my pinky to lift a slat of my mini-blind and what do I see? Snowflakes. Please, oh please, let it come to naught!
