As I have metntioned on this blog before, program staff are a very unique brand of human. While upright in stature, like other humans, virtually everything else is different.
One of our own will be joining, what some program staff would call, the corporate world. While Marie never set out to be a camp staffer, she turned out to be pretty decent. Not only was she eager to learn about challenge course, she is also good at writing lesson plans, teaching, and even Food Service. Marie has many talents, and she is taking them with her, away from the Eastern 4-H Center, and to Fayetteville, NC to become a teacher. She is all grown up now.
We have enjoyed teasing her about the name of her apartment...it's whispering pine cove valley or peaceful lake creek or something stupid that is conjured up by some real estate developer who believes that you can name a place and then it becomes its name...
If that were the case, the Eastern 4-H Center would be called "Bay Shore Farms" or "Albemarle Pocosin"...and for those who have spent a summer here, it might be called "Valley of the Yellow Fly".
Anyway, Marie is going to be a "Panther" at her new school. The rest of us wish her well as she departs.
Last night Program Joe prepared Pumpkin Chilli (which tasted like regular chilli) and Pumpkin Mousse (for which I would walk a hundred miles to eat again). Good stuff Joey!
This weekend, The Eastern 4-H Center is hosting the 2009 4-H Shooting Sports Workshop...We have a lot of folks signed up and I am sure it will be fun!
Enjoy the day...
