Looking Forward to Jessica Being Here This Weekend

Jessica is coming in from LSU this Friday and will be with us over the Labor Day weekend.  She hasn't been home since June, being occupied with  youth leader service with the campus Methodist Church and as a night manager for the faculty club.  Now, of course, she is in class and has to work several hours each week in the English department, in addition to the other jobs..

Jessica is beginning to realize that a person can overload  herself, and she must set priorities.  She has been doing what we used to call "over-cropping yourself."  It is an old agricultural expression, meaning planting more acres than can be worked.  It was something we did every summer. I remember when Dad said we were not going to work as hard the next year.  We worked in the fields until after sundown and then had chores to do when he got to the house.  I told him once that if we were not working as hard as before, I sure didn't notice it.

Back to Jessica. We are all happy she will be here for at least a few days.
