POSTCARD FROM GEORGETOWN KENTUCKY

What a beautiful day!
70 degrees and sunny with a slight breeze. Such a relief from the heat and humidity of the past week.
The Bengals have deserted town, students are unloading cars and carrying boxes into brick buildings with countless windows, and another semester is beginning.
Carson and I have been kicking around a soccer ball on the campus of Georgetown College while we wait on Sharla to get out of her Town Meeting of Fall orientation.
We have now retired to the car to let Carson watch Open Season( for the umpteenth time) on the DVD player. I am writing in the car as the battery is slowly dying on my computer.
Carson said earlier in the morning that he will be going to school here when he gets bigger and that he will play soccer and go to class with the girls. ( I better start saving my money now!)
Our next visit will be in a couple of months and will coincide with the Homecoming game. As long as the “mascot” stays on the other side of the field, we should be all right. I am nominating Sharla for Homecoming Queen!! I'll post a picture of her with her roses and tiara later this Fall.

By the way…..just where is Shorter College?
We do this little trip on average of four times a year. We spend a “guy’s day” together waiting on Momma. We usually wile away the hours kicking the ball, hitting nerf golf balls, chasing squirrels, watching movies, eating snacks, checking out the Hispanic flea market(they have a great selection of Mexican League soccer gear), and more or less driving around and checking out the sights.
We still have a few hours to get all of this done after we take Sharla to lunch.
We then have to go to Lexington to eat at Johnny Carino’s and to let her shop at the Hamburg Pavillion before we hit the road back to C’burg.
Just a few more trips and she will be all finished up!!!!! To embark on her new mission in life empowered with her MA in Special Ed.
Just a day in the life of the traveling Johnson family.
