Today kicks off hurricane season 2007 for the Atlantic Ocean. Tropical Storm Barry is brewing in the Gulf of Mexico, but he's going to head northeast up over Florida and the Carolinas, so he shouldn't be coming this way. I don't know what Mississippi and Louisiana would do if a hurricane does make its way over here--the Gulf Coast in both states is still in shambles. They just opened up a bridge the other day that got washed out in southern Mississippi almost two years ago during Katrina, and some of the towns down there still have yet to be rebuilt.
The staff at the Natchez National Historical Park has been awarded the National Park Service Southeast Region "Keepers of the Light" award! It totally sounds like some kind of Young Women's award, but I didn't tell the other rangers that because they wouldn't know what I was talking about. It is a pretty big deal though--the award is given to a park that makes extra efforts to provide educational opportunities. Because of our Junior Ranger camps, Junior Ranger program, and elementary school programs, we were obviously good candidates.
Speaking of Jr. Ranger camp, week #1 (out of four) begins on Monday. We've all been working to get everything together--now everyone just needs to rest up for what is sure to be a crazy-wild month of June! Angie and I went to lunch at La Fiesta today since we realized that this was probably the last time we would have a nice, peaceful, quiet lunch hour until after camp.
Today I gave the world's fastest tour of Melrose: 4 minutes! This guy came to see the house, but he said that he didn't want me to give him any information--he just wanted to breeze through and look at the house. He said he was tired of boring, detailed tours. Fine with me! We were literally in and out. I'm sure that was probably the shortest Melrose tour in history.
