Last week was Spring Break. It was wonderful. The weather was fantastic. The first Saturday all the students were gone, I went on a ramble through the woods and fields around the campus, exploring all the things I should have explored long ago but never got a chance to.

Last Saturday, the weekend before classes started back, I went to Alabama to help my sister move. She's been living in a basement apartment for the past few years, building her house piecemeal as she gets the money. We had hoped she would move in last fall, before the winter cold, but it just didn't happen.

The new house is beautiful. It has lots of large windows, and is situated on the top of a wooded hill miles from civilization. You can see miles and miles to the horizon all the way around. In fact, you can see Cheaha, the highest point in Alabama.

The move was a lot of work, but we had our Uncle Wallace to help. He recently retired to the area from his job as a professor of philosophy. His pickup was invaluable for moving the fridge and other furniture.

I had a good Spring Break. In between the two weekends, I read a good book and watched a lot of movies. What a great way to spend a week!
