Myrtle Creek has a summer festival at the end of July or the weekend closest to July 25th. We learned that our first year here when Roland had asked one of the members about Pioneer Days - a holiday celebrating the movement of the pioneers to Salt Lake City, Utah. Our ward here does a service project the Saturday prior to the Saturday of summer fest. The first year we had moved in, we had gone to Riddle to clean up the cemetery here. I took several pictures though I was not yet familiar with the majority of members who appeared in each photo.
The following year we had painted the shed and spruced up the track and bleacher area at the high school. I must have forgotten my camera that day. I don't recall having taken any photographs. I was hoping that my sister's family would be in town that afternoon or evening, but a fire alarm had disturbed their sleep and put them behind schedule (see here). So they were not there for service project or pool party afterward.
Last year we had gone to the American Legion on Old Pacific to spruce up grounds and add stars to the building (it is actually pretty cool looking)

I took more pictures of our service project there than I had at Riddle but does not appear that I posted anything - not even on facebook.
Yesterday's project was at Millsite Park. I would have taken pictures had I had a camera, but I don't. And as you can see from my blackberry pics (a few posts back) my cell phone does not take great pictures and would not have been worth the effort. Mulch was dumped between the walking path and ballpark and looks really nice. I will have to add pictures at a later date.
As always, we had a barbeque and pool party later in the evening. I had not been feeling well but had chosen to go for the barbeque - which may have not been the wisest decision. I was there for only forty minutes or so before I had Roland bring me back home.
I aced both of my classes. My accounting teacher praised me for including Hershey's code of Ethics on my report. Truth be known, I wasn't including it because I thought it should be part of my report or because I found it interesting. I needed over 1,200 words and had included whatever I could for the sake of word count.
I also introduced my Ethics instructor to a made-up place of work based on an actual family owned business that I would guess does not use an auditor, which I had chosen as it has been the subject of my other class. For the sake of my report (PowerPoint) I had to use my major as a profession for a place of business - not that I will ever specialize in auditing unless it is for nonprofit - which is the point of view I took for my PowerPoint. All done. Both classes complete. I will start another accounting class tomorrow.
